Eleanor Powell shows up in the office of Broadway producer Robert Taylor, a high school sweetheart. He doesn't recognize her, so she decides to earn a part in his new show by auditioning. He recognizes her at the audition, but doesn't hire her to keep her out of the business, despite obviously falling for her romantically. He sends her back home by train, but she secretly adopts the personality of a fake French actress and tries again to get the part. Meanwhile, gossip columnist Jack Benny spars with Taylor over his public and private life, inventing the French actress persona as bait for Taylor. Everything works out in the end, of course, with plenty of stops along the way for singing and Powell's amazing tap dancing.
