"LOVELY is the Word! DEANNA in TECHNICOLOR for the First Thrilling Time! with the Miracle Melodies of JEROME KERN!"
With the California Gold Rush beginning, Senator Frost's singing daughter Caroline loves a young army officer; the Senator can't stand him, and has him sent to California. Headstrong Caroline follows him by train, riverboat, and covered wagon, gaining companions en route: a vagrant Russian prince and gambler Johnny Lawlor, who just might take her mind off the army.
