Some Like It Hot

In 1929 Chicago, musicians Joe and Jerry witness the St. Valentine's Day Massacre and flee the mob by disguising themselves as women in an all-girl band heading to Florida. Joe, posing as 'Josephine', catches the eye of wealthy Osgood Fielding III, while Jerry, now 'Daphne', finds herself pursued by him. Meanwhile, the band's lead singer, Sugar Kane, becomes the object of Joe's affections, leading to a complex web of romantic deceptions and near-discoveries.
