About
A Buenos Aires nightclub owner invents a secret admirer for his daughter, while an American dancer short on cash crosses her path.
In Buenos Aires, American dancer Robert Davis (Fred Astaire) loses his money betting on horses and asks Eduardo Acuña (Adolphe Menjou), a wealthy nightclub owner, for a job. Eduardo will not meet him. Eduardo's family keeps a tradition that daughters marry from oldest to youngest. His eldest daughter is marrying, which leaves Maria (Rita Hayworth) next in line, but she refuses to marry; her younger sisters Cecy and Lita already have boyfriends and are impatient to wed. At the eldest daughter's wedding reception, Robert is drawn to Maria, but she turns him away and will not speak to him. Eduardo, who thinks the men of the day are not romantic enough, sends Maria anonymous flowers and love letters to create a mysterious admirer, intending to choose a suitable man to play the part.
