During the thirty-fourth week of their hit Broadway
show, dancer Vicky Lane awaits the arrival of her partner, Dan Christy but, as
usual, he is late. Vicky thinks that Dan is buying her an engagement ring
and is infuriated to discover that he has been on a date with socialite Marilyn
Crothers. Fed up with Dan's womanizing and insensitivity, Vicky quits the
show and returns to her former dancing partner and beau, Victor Prince, who is
still in love with her.
Three months pass as Dan sinks into a depression and
cannot find a backer for his new show. His agent, the Commissioner, tells
him that businessmen Bickel and Brown will back his show, but only if he can get
Vicky to return. Dan is pessimistic, for Vicky and Victor are beginning a
new engagement with Harry James and His Music Makers at a Lake Louise resort in
the Canadian Rockies. The Commissioner tells Dan to romance Vicky so that
she will come back, and not tell her about Bickel and Brown until she arrives in
New York.
He then asks bartender McTavish to get the drunken
Dan on the next plane to Lake Louise. When Dan awakens sometime later, he
finds himself at the Canadian resort and learns that he has hired McTavish as
his valet and Rosita Murphy, who was working in a Detroit souvenir shop, as his
secretary. He then confronts Vicky, who happily shows off the engagement
ring given to her by Victor.
Dan is discouraged but hits upon the scheme of
making Vicky jealous by romancing Rosita. His plan appears to be working
until Vicky learns the truth from Rosita, who has aroused the interest of
Victor, although she prefers McTavish.
Vicky's friend, Phoebe Gray, is also intrigued by
McTavish, and the couples spend much time pursuing and arguing with each other.
One evening, Dan barges into Vicky's room and refuses to leave when she summons
Victor. Angered by Dan's presence, Victor accuses Vicky of being
unfaithful, and she breaks off their engagement.
Later that evening, Vicky and Dan reconcile, and he
promises to be honest with her. He tries to tell her about the new show,
but she rushes off to plan their departure the next morning. As she is
checking out in the morning, Vicky runs into the Commissioner, and Bickel and
Brown, who have just arrived and spill the beans about the show. Thinking
that Dan is using her once again, Vicky runs off in tears, but the quick
thinking Rosita is able to cover up for Dan and convince Vicky that he intended
to take her to California for their honeymoon.
In the process, however, Bickel and Brown are lost
as sponsors and Rosita must persuade McTavish to invest some of his inheritance
into Vicky and Dan's new show. That accomplished, the show opens with Vicky and
Dan as the star performers, supported by Harry James, Rosita and Victor, and
McTavish and Phoebe.
