Director Fred Sears did it all under the tutelage of producer Sam Katzman: science fiction, crime dramas, westerns, and musicals, including this rarely seen attempt to cash in on the popularity of band leader Prez Prado. Set on a back-lot pre-revolutionary Cuba, the film stars Stephen Dunne as A&R man Bill Haven, on a trip from New York to sign some hot local talent. He hasn't reckoned on having competition, though especially when it comes in the form of his own girlfriend (Alix Talton), who's scouting the same talent on behalf of a business rival. The two soon learn that love and business don't mix well but can the music re-unite them? One of many films that tried to anticipate the next, post-rock 'n' roll musical trend, Cha-Cha-Cha-Boom! failed to rhumba its way into the hearts of moviegoers and remained buried in the vaults for decades before its recent disinterment on TCM.
