Show Synopsis:
Bob and Phil are a successful entertainment duo who meet two aspiring singers who are sisters named Betty and Judy. Bob and Betty begin to hit it off, as do Phil and Judy, and the four escape an angry landlord to go to Vermont for the holidays, where the sisters are supposed to perform. The men discover that the inn in Vermont is run by their beloved former commanding officer General Waverly, and he is concerned about the inn failing if the snow does not fall, which would ruin tourism. Bob and Phil plan a huge entertainment show to boost tourism and profits for the inn, complete with Ed Harrison, a famous television host who happens to be an old army buddy. The housekeeper Emma believes that Bob is putting on the show for his own gain and she tells Betty he is, so Betty leaves for New York. Bob goes after her, and she sees a broadcast where Ed asks for General Waverly's veterans to go to the inn, which convinces her that Bob's efforts were all for the good of the inn. They return to Vermont, where the show is a success, the snow begins to fall, and everyone has a merry Christmas.
