The story

Beau Clemment II, a singer in New York City, learns that he has inherited a riverboat once owned by his grandfather, Beauregard, who had won it from its captain, Thadeus Jackson, in a game of chance. Thadeus has been bitter ever since, his old acquaintance Humphrey Hepburn recalling how Beauregard also won the heart of the vessel's star performer, Melissa Curry. Beau travels to Alabama to claim the boat, which he finds in something far less than ship-shape condition.
