Directed by: Arthur Lubin

Synopsis: Nick Duquesne (Arturo de Cordova) is the King of Basin Street, owning casinos and clubs and employing the best jazz musicians in town.  But he feels his status isn’t high enough to win him the heart and hand of society singer Miralee Smith (Dorothy Patrick).

Cat Burglars (Scene Stealers): The first scene of the film shows the night club from the outside as a man takes out the garbage.  He pauses at the garbage can and pulls out a small cat, tossing the animal aside before emptying the garbage into the can.

The man carries the garbage pail back inside the patio where another cat (possibly the same cat actor) is waiting by the door.  The man reaches down and grabs the cat, tossing him aside before going in.
