Three Manhattan roommates with the unlikely names of Loco, Pola, and Schatze, all short of money, set out to find wealthy bachelors to marry. Their true dilemma is: chase money, or chase love? They have mixed results. Betty Grable looks much too old for her role. First production to be filmed in CinemaScope; best viewed in wide screen format.
