Some Like It Hot tells the story of two struggling musicians, Joe and Jerry (Curtis and Lemmon), who are on the run from a Chicago gang after witnessing the St. Valentine's Day Massacre of 1929. The gangster in charge is Spats Columbo (Raft), who orders the execution of Jerry and Joe. They escape in the confusion and decide to leave town. But the only out-of-town job they can find is in an all-girl band, so they disguise themselves as women and call themselves Josephine and Daphne. They join the band and go to Florida by train. Joe and Jerry both fall for "Sugar" Kane Kowalczyk (Monroe), the band's Polish-American vocalist and ukulele player, and fight for her affection while maintaining their disguises.

In 2000, the American Film Institute listed Some Like It Hot as the funniest American film of all time.
