A screaming film tonic of soul kisses and shaking shimmies. If you never laughed in your life before, you've got a howl coming in the land of Jazz.

Synopsis

Nina, engaged to a French captain, and Nancy, engaged to a doctor who runs an insane asylum on an island, are friends. When the doctor catches Nancy kissing the captain, known for kisses with a "heavenly kick," he breaks the engagement. In an effort to win back the doctor for Nancy, Nina pretends to be a bit "off" and becomes an inmate of the sanitarium.
