The story takes place in a pajama factory in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where the workers are on strike for a seven-and-a-half-cent raise. The new superintendent, Sid Sorokin, falls in love with Babe Williams, the head of the union grievance committee. Their romance is complicated by their opposing roles in the labor dispute.  The Scenes in the factory, the labor slowdown  and the company picnic are marvelous 

There are ten songs as well as the marvelous Correography of Bob Fosses
