The Story: Two army buddies, Bob and Phil, have a successful song-and-dance act after the war. With romance in mind, the two follow a duo of beautiful singing sisters (Betty and Judy) to a Christmas gig at a Vermont lodge, which just happens to be owned by their former Army commander, General Waverly. The boys soon realize they are the only guests at the resort because there is no snow! In order to help the General, they come up with a scheme to bring in a crowd. A Portland area premiere!
