Musical Comedy

A circus performer becomes the center of affections for two men in this RKO musical starring Bebe Daniels.  Dixiana (Daniels) is loved by a plantation owner’s son and she loves him, but she is also coveted by a crooked gambler who also is looking to swindle the plantation away from the family.  Add to this romantic triangle the romantic talents of Wheeler and Woolsey and the first time on-screen performance of Bill “Bojangles” Robinson and you’ve got a winner.
