A showgirl from the San Francisco cabaret is murdered, and the only witnesses are fellow showgirls Stormy Tornado (Betty Grable) and Curly Flagg (Sheree North). Afraid of both the murderers and the cops, the two go on the run, eventually deciding to pose as male students at Bristol College. Neither girl can avoid the spotlight for too long, though, and their constant desire to stand out among the crowd eventually gets the better of them, resulting in their cover being blown.
