The bumbling boys get fired fdrom their jobs in a soda shop and decide to make their way to the Big Apple by hiding in the trunk of a car with New York license plates. Unfortunately, the driver, dreamy singer Ricardo Monters (John Caroll), is headed for a fiesta in a tiny South Texas town. After a long and exhasting ride, Bud and Lou find themselves mixed up in one of their most suspenseful and loony adventures ever, filled with Nazi spies, old flames, new friends, and a secret code book.
Artfully directed by S. Sylvan Simon, with delightful melodies co-penned by Harold Arlen (1939 Oscar winner for "Over The Rainbow") and co-starring gorgeous Kathryn Grayson, Rio Rita is pure enjoyment for comedy fans of all ages.
