Oito professores estão voltados exclusivamente para a elaboração de um enciclopédia. Nenhum deles é casado, pois acredita-se que ter uma família pode ser prejudicial para o andamento dos trabalhos.

Joan Cameron (singing voice)
Radio star Jack Benny, intending to stay in New York for the summer, is forced by the needling of rival Fred Allen to prove his boasts about roughing it on his (fictitious) Nevada ranch. Meanwhile, singer Joan Cameron, whom Jack's fallen for and offended, is maneuvered by her sisters to the same Nevada town.
