Plots(1)
Astaire plays driven hoofer Josh Barkley. Rogers is his wife, Dinah, who longs to forsake the clackety-clap-tapping of Bouncin' the Blues for stage drama. She parts, Josh vies to win her back, and the routines leading to a happy resolution include Fred's Shoes with Wings On and a rhapsodic reprise of a George and Ira Gershwin number from Shall We Dance: They Can't Take That Away from Me.
