Synopsis

An elevator operator (Harry Smith) in a luxury hotel courts the hotel president's daughter (played by a platinum-blonde June Allyson). She is engaged to another, but when her fiance leaves on a business trip, Harry Smith (played by dancer Hal Le Roy) asks her to join him for dinner. During dinner, Harry is introduced to her father, who misinterprets Harry's remarks about elevators as being a tip to invest in the Ups and Downs Elevator company. The fiance returns and breaks off the engagement, thinking that his prospective father-in-law has lost everything on a worthless stock. But the investment turns out to be wildly profitable, and Harry and June are engaged, tapping away in a production number dominated by a giant ticker-tape machine.
