Professional hoofer and amateur gambler Fred Astaire goes to New York City to prove to his father-in-law-to-be that he can hold down a real job. Instead, he meets and falls in love with dance school teacher Ginger Rogers. There are romantic entanglements with a band leader who wants to marry Ginger and comedy relief from Fred's amateur magician sidekick. Fred does his famous "bojangles" dance routine in black face. Fred and Ginger croon love songs to each other. Old fashioned entertainment, perhaps a bit too old fashioned.
