The trio of song-filled "Streamliner" treats from Hal Roach featuring players like Frances Langford, Harry Langdon, Marjorie Woodworth, and George Givot is collected here. When all-girl school Mar Brynn College insults a pack of macho guys from Quinceton University, they decide to put one of their own (Johnny Downs) into a dress and have him enter their rival's beauty contest.

Everyone at the family rancho was beaming with Cholita (Ann Ayars) expected back home after years in Mexico City, childhood sweetheart José (Jorge Negrete) most of all. What’ll he do when she shows up with a tenderfoot radio singer fiancé (Givot) on her arm? South-of-the-border shenanigans abound in producer Hal Roach’s lively Technicolor romantic comedy "Fiesta" (1941), co-starring Antonio Moreno, Armida, and The Guadalajara Trio; score includes "Ride Mi Caballeros," "Quien Sabe." Leading her pals on a Caribbean jaunt in the hopes of meeting the cabaret singer she's smitten with, a Florida playgirl (Woodworth) makes her first mistake when she takes on a fleeing alimony cheat (Givot) as a tour guide.
