Synopsis
Benny and Flo, a husband-and-wife vaudeville act who form the dancing team of Sloane and Darrel, reach the Broadway big time in a revue that folds under them. They are signed up for a nightclub, however, and become a sensation. Winston, a society playboy, takes a fancy to Flo, and she soon becomes discontented with the unsophisticated Benny and his Broadway buddies. Flo divorces Benny and breaks up the act, finding a new dancing partner for a revue backed by Winston. The act is a flop, and Winston offers Flo a trip to Europe without benefit of clergy. Coming to her senses at last, Flo returns to Benny, and they go on the road again with their old act.
