Her sister Gloria returns home with her touring vaudeville troupe, offering to let them use their barn as a theatre to rehearse a new show. Trouble ensues when Jane falls for Joe, the group's stage director. Meanwhile, wealthy socialite Margaret Wingate is trying to purchase the Falbury Farm to use the land for commercial purposes.[3]
