Story
Roger Bond is the conductor of an ensemble performing in a prestigious hotel on the coast, and just a playboy, circling the head of a hundred girls at once, living merrily and carefree. But after dancing with another girl he liked, he was fired: she was the daughter of a millionaire, spoiling relations with whom it was not at all in the interests of the hotel manager. And at the same time, not only the head, but the entire dance band “Yankee Clipper Band” flew from the scene. Left without work, Bond, without hesitation, decided to fly even further: no less and more to the capital of Brazil - Rio de Janeiro.
But his recent dance partner, Belinda de Rizende, is also in a hurry. Her father fell ill and there is no place for entertainment in Miami. But since they are on their way, why should not Roger offer a girl a seat in his twin-seater? And if he proposed, then why would she not agree - the time savings are enormous. This, of course, is nothing, but Belinda still does not know that there will be an unexpected landing on an uninhabited island, a tiff with the future bridegroom and an acquaintance with the incomparable step dancer Fred Ayres ...
