Dear Listers:

A further internet search has turned up a synopsis of Rhythm Inn on MSN
Movies:

Since Universal was out of the "B"-western business by 1951, many former
Universal contractees were obliged to seek work elsewhere. Monogram's Rhythm
Inn stars Jane Frazee, Kirby Grant and Lois Collier, Universal alumni all.
It all begins when bandleader Dusty Rhodes (Kirby Grant) is forced to pawn
his musicians' instruments. It so happens that pawnshop clerk Eddie Thompson
(Charles Smith) is an aspiring songwriter. Thus it is that band-singer Carol
Denton (Jane Frazee) is able to sweet-talk Thompson into allowing the
musicians to use their instruments after office hours, with the promise that
the clerk's songs will be performed. Complications ensue when Thompson's
girl friend Betty (Lois Collier), misunderstanding the situation, becomes
jealous. Specialty numbers in Rhythm Inn are provided by the Anson Weeks
orchestra, Armida, Jean Ritchie, Ames & Arno and the Ramon Bros. ~ Hal
Erickson, All Movie Guide

It sounds at the very least like an amiable time-waster.  I hope this is not
one of those films where all of the prints have become lost.
