Doc Tilbee (Dan Dailey) is a lovable braggart rascal who runs a travelling medicine show with his loyal banjo playing sidekick Enoch Jones (Scatman Crothers). He rescues the runaway orphan Tad (Chet Allen), on the road to Capital City, who escaped from the squalid prison-like orphanage detention center in Springville. When newly appointed orphanage board member, the proper but kindly, Zerelda Wing (Diana Lynn) comes to retrieve the runaway, Doc hides him with the bawdy Wonderland cafe visiting singer from New York, Clara Brink (Carole Mathews), who desperately wants Doc as a hubby.

Though Judy was supposed to appear in the film, her part was cut down to nothing more than a voice coming from a radio while Dan Dailey and Shirley Jones are dancing. However, the song she sang - "The Faraway Part of Town" - was nominated for Best Song Academy Award.

An all-star cast that includes Ethel Merman, Dan Dailey, Marilyn Monroe, Donald O'Connor, Johnnie Ray and Mitzi Gaynor sparks this tuneful Irving Berlin musical that depicts the trials and triumphs of a veteran vaudeville family. Molly (Merman) and Terry (Dailey) Donahue start out as a duo and keep adding kids to the act until they finally become The 5 Donahues. Their busy, sometimes tumultuous lives aren't always easy, but the Donahues have plenty of love to get them through the hard times and more than enough talent to keep them on top. Highlighted by one classic Irving Berlin song after another and an array of dazzling production numbers, this upbeat, utterly delightful tale of life on the stage proves, beyond and doubt, that There's No Business Like Show Business!
