Romantic nonsense set at a winter resort. Sonja Henie is the house skating instructor who falls in love with disguised prince Tyrone Power involved in international negotiations. Sonja's non-acting is exasperated by her constant camera mugging and overblown skating productions. There is unfunny musical comedy relief from Joan Davis as a female bandleader that is absolutely disastrous.
