Here's how Dames at Sea is billed: "Small town girl Ruby arrives in the Big Apple with her tap shoes in her suitcase, a song in her heart, and a burning desire to be a Broadway star. Just off the bus she meets and falls in love with Dick, a sailor who just happens to be a song writer with aspirations of his own. They can sing a lovely duet, but can they save a Broadway show when calamity strikes? It’s an affectionate spoof of the grand and glorious Busby Berkeley movie musicals of the 1930s – a singing, tap dancing delight with a cast of only six!"
