Nancy Goes to Rio

Young Nancy arrives in Rio de Janeiro for a musical tour, unaware that her mother, Betsy, and her mother's friend, Vivian, are also there, each posing as Nancy's mother to secure a lucrative contract.

Complications arise as Nancy falls for the handsome conductor, Carlos, while Betsy and Vivian continue their schemes to outdo each other.
