The peanut is a story about a struggling young orchestra leader (George Murphy) and a stage-struck heiress (Doris Nolan) who, when he makes it plain to her that she is a failure as a chorus girl, retaliates by hiring him to put on a show in her skyscraper night club.

However, at 1 p. m. in the dacha of Rosengoltz the heiress from Manhattan and her corporation lawyer husband, who is rich in his own right, sat down to feast with handsome War Commissar Klimentiy ("Klim") Voroshilov and pouncing Public Prosecutor Andrei Vishinsky of the Moscow Old Bolshevik trials.
