Patience and Prudence Mclntyre, 14 and 11 years old respectively, are just like most girls their age except that they have a daddy who is a pianist-songwriter (The Money Tree) and full of bright ideas. One day Daddy-Mark Mclntyre-took them over to a recording studio and played his arrangement of the old Lee David-Billy Rose heart-thumper, Tonight You Belong to Me, while the girls cut a record as a birthday gift for Grandmother.
