* WorfHadTheFlu: If Curly's performance seems a bit... off, it's because, at this point, Curly's health was on a downward slope , exacerbated by a stroke he'd had not a year earlier.

It tells the story of Carol Lawrence (Storm), an aspiring singer who's down on her luck. One day, Carol – after ''several'' misunderstandings and after kitchen staffers Moe, Larry and Curly vouch for her – lands a job singing in Danny Warren's (Phil Regan) new nightclub. But Danny and his right-hand man, Moose are on the lookout for process servers sent by Danny's father (a newspaper man who considers the nightclub biz beneath Danny and a waste of time), looking to shut the place. Can Danny make a go of the place before his father can having him shut down? Will Danny and Carol act on their attraction to each other?

The movie also features musical numbers from Connee Boswell and the Louis Jordan and Will Osborne orchestras, as well as Storm herself singing "Stormy Weather" and "The Sunny Side of the Street."

* SocietyMarchesOn: The sketch with Carol spending the night is downright cringeworthy by today's standards. What happens is she gets upset and tries to serve Danny the dispossession, but instead accidentally hands him her eviction notice. Danny feels bad and ushers her back inside, asking Moose to prepare his suite for her to spend the night since she's been kicked out of her place. Carol misinterprets this to mean Danny expects her to sleep with him to get the job, a theory not helped by Danny's longing stares. Moose gets her into the suite and Carol is panicking as he sets up dinner, begging for Moose to stay so she won't be assaulted by Danny. Then the Stooges show up in their night attire and Carol faints. She wakes up the next morning wearing Danny's clothes and is even more afraid until she finds out one of the female staff members is the one who changed her clothes overnight. It's PlayedForLaughs but to be honest, it's downright ''uncomfortable'' to watch.

* OverlyLongGag: Several, but most notably the incident mentioned below in SocietyMarchesOn, the bit with the Stooges trying to find Moose's watch, and the painfully unfunny Windy trying to convince Moose his poorly done impressions should be included in Danny's show lineup.

* EndingFatigue: The final show of the film goes on a very, ''very'' long time, especially "Stormy Weather."

* NonIndicativeTitle: There is no parade to be found, and most of the music in the movie isn't swing.

* PoorCommunicationKills: Inverted: After the encounter with Danny's dance director, Carol is so flustered and upset, that when she finally gets face to face with Danny, she hands him her own eviction notice, rather than the cease and desist order from his father. But Danny thinks she did it on purpose to try and tug at his heartstrings. In the end, she gets the audition she'd been turned away from earlier (because Moose thought she was trying to serve the papers she actually was trying to serve the second time she showed up).
