Pot o' Gold is a 1941 musical comedy directed by George Marshall and starring James Stewart, Paulette Goddard, and Horace Heidt. The movie begins with a struggling musician named Jimmy Haskell (Stewart) who is desperate for a job. He arrives in a small town and is quickly offered a position at the Potter's Pye radio station. However, when Jimmy realizes the station doesn't pay its employees, he leaves immediately. While walking away from the station, he meets Molly McCorkle (Goddard), a feisty Irish girl who is determined to help her father, who owns a music shop, by getting his music played on the radio.

Molly's father, who is a traditional Irish musician, is skeptical of the modern music being played on the radio, but Molly encourages him to embrace the new style. This leads to an unlikely partnership between Molly, her father, and Jimmy as they work together to try and get the Potter's Pye radio station to play more traditional Irish music.

Their efforts are initially unsuccessful, but they eventually catch the attention of Horace Heidt, a famous bandleader who is visiting the town. Heidt is impressed by their music and offers Jimmy a job as the lead singer for his band. Molly and her father also get a chance to perform with the band, and they become an overnight sensation. However, their success puts them at odds with the manager of Potter's Pye, who is jealous of their popularity.

The movie is filled with musical performances, including several by Heidt and his band, as well as Stewart and Goddard's renditions of classic Irish songs. The chemistry between the two leads is undeniable, and their musical talents are on full display throughout the movie.

The film also touches on themes of tradition versus modernity, with Molly and her father representing the old ways and Jimmy representing the new. However, by the end of the movie, they find a way to blend their different styles and create something truly unique.
