Plot

[edit]

Working on a thesis, college student Bob Hilton performs research while predicting that calypso music will be the next craze, replacing rock and roll. When he and Professor Winthrop visit a nightclub where Jo Thomas is the featured singer, Jo mocks Bob's theory until he takes her to another club and piques her interest.

Bob's interest in music and in Jo is frustrating to Marion Hendricks, his impatient fiancée. Jo adds a calypso number to her repertoire, causing friction between the club's owner and Bob, resulting in a fight. But the audience's enthusiastic reaction to the song causes the nightclub to be renamed Club Trinidad with a new musical theme. Marion breaks up with Bob but attracts the romantic interest of the professor.
