Urgent Intern Dilemma

I have been interning for about a month at a firm. At said investment company, I have been primarily doing non-finance work. That being said, I recently got an offer to be an investment banking analyst for the summer at a boutique. Would future employers look down upon me leaving my current position after only having it for a month? Should I stick it out at my current job even though I know I won't be learning as much? Should I even list the investment internship on my resume if I were to leave? I hope to be a summer analyst for a BB next summer if that changes anything. (I used search function and found 1 forum where the consensus was to leave. Just wanted to confirm) Thanks.
