Fred Astaire and Jane Powell are a brother and sister act with a successful Broadway show. Inspired by the upcoming royal wedding, they take it to London. Jane meets Peter Lawford, a young playboy Lord, while Fred falls for dancer Sarah Churchill, who turns out to be engaged. While they sort out their various romantic problems, there are numerous breaks for songs and dances, including Fred's famous dance on the ceiling of a revolving set.
