Plot
In the heart of the bustling city, a quartet of struggling musicians led by the charismatic Nifty (Ray Bolger) find themselves in a precarious position when their lead singer departs under the intimidating influence of her mobster lover. Salvation appears in the form of the intriguing and innocent Karanina "Nina" Novak (Anne Shirley), a young woman with a mysterious connection to royalty, who steps in as their new vocalist.
In a spirited twist of fate, the group lands a coveted gig at the quaint Little Aregal Cafe, all thanks to Nina's elaborate ruse of an old acquaintance with King Stephan VIII of Aregal. Their simple life of music and camaraderie is thrown into a whirlwind of romantic entanglement and royal confusion when the charming Steve (Desi Arnaz), posing as the King of Aregal, enters the scene, complicating the budding feelings between Nina and Nifty.
But when Steve elopes with the glamorous Opal (June Havoc), the plot thickens and the stakes rise as the actual King of Aregal (also portrayed by Desi Arnaz) makes a grand appearance, further muddling relationships and identities. "Four Jacks and a Jill" is a joyous romp, packed with music, love, and a dash of royal intrigue, where nothing is as it seems and love is as unpredictable as a roll of the dice.
