The Five Dolphins had a regular nightly gig aboard the ocean liner, the S.S. Epicurus, until it sank. Miraculously, everyone survived the disaster by swimming to one of the many nearby ice floes in the area. The group members make it to one such ice floe, which (again, miraculously!) carries a tuned piano. There they decide to sing some of their favorite Cole Porter numbers to entertain the others and to keep themselves warm until they are rescued.
