Synopsis This biographical musical chronicles famous Irish songwriter Ernest R. Ball's (Dick Haymes) swift rise to stardom, highlighting many of his beloved melodies, including the title track, "When Irish Eyes are Smiling."

His romance eventually gets him mixed up with a dangerous crowd, including a charismatic snollygoster (Anthony Quinn) and an unsavory musical producer (Monty Woolley).
