The President of the United States decides that the true cause of the Great Depression (raging when the film was released) is a loss of "optimism" as a result of a plot by financiers and bankers who are getting rich from the Depression. The President then appoints Lawrence Cromwell as secretary for the newly created Department of Amusement. Cromwell creates an army of entertainers and sends them out across the country. Much of the action centers around Cromwell auditioning acts in his office (with interruptions from janitor "George Bernard Shaw" played by Stepin Fetchit). At the end, as a musical production number breaks forth, Cromwell looks out of his office window and sees the Depression literally, instantaneously lift.

Gino Fabretti est un ténor italien qui ne compte plus ses succès ni ses admiratrices. Lors d'une tournée à Nice, il entame une relation avec la femme d'un médecin réputé. Ce dernier lui tend un piège, le drogue et remplace ses cordes vocales par celles de Robert, garçon livreur dans une épicerie. Robert se réveille donc avec la voix de Gino et Gino avec celle de Robert (accents et tics de langage compris !). L'épouse infidèle dédaigne le ténor aphone et ne témoigne plus d'intérêt que pour l'épicier. Le docteur n'aura plus qu'à effectuer l'opération inverse et obtenir du chanteur un retour définitif en Italie.
