He plans to enter Bessie in the singing contest sponsored by band-leader Danny Marlowe for a large recording company looking for new talent.. Chick has a recording made of Bessie’s voice and substitutes it for that of “Sugar” Caston, who is being sponsored by a big-time gangster and is set up to win.
