Output (English): Jimmy Connors Mickey Rooney, a student at Riverwood High School, plays the drums in the school band but dreams of playing in a dance band. He and his pal Mary Holden Judy Garland sell the school principal on the idea of forming a dance orchestra and putting on a dance to raise money. The principal is initially doubtful but then agrees to buy the first ticket. The event is a success, and the schools debt for the instruments is paid off. Famous band leader Paul Whiteman played by himself sponsors a contest in Chicago for the best high school musical group, and Jimmy decides that the band must compete. In three weeks, the kids write, plan, and put on a show. The melodrama, called Nell from New Rochelle, is also a success and raises almost enough money for the band to go to Chicago, but theyre still short. A loan from Whiteman himself solves that problem. However, when a member of the band is injured and needs a critical and urgent operation, the band uses the money so that the injured student can be flown to Chicago for the operation. The band gets a last minute gift of a free ride on a fast train to Chicago. The band competes in Chicago and wins the 500 prize. Jimmy gets the honor of leading all of the bands in a grand finale performance.
