When two Chicago musicians, Joe and Jerry (Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon), witness the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, they want to get out of town and get away from the gangster responsible, Spats Columbo. They’re desperate to get a gig out of town but the only job they know of is an all-girl band heading to Florida. They show up at the train station as Josephine and Daphne, the replacement saxophone and bass players. They certainly enjoy being around the girls, especially Sugar Kane (Marilyn Monroe), a ukulele-playing vocalist. Joe sets out to woo Sugar Kane while Jerry/Daphne is wooed by a millionaire, Osgood Fielding III. Mayhem ensues as the two men try to keep their identities hidden and Spats Columbo and his crew show up for a meeting with several other crime lords.
