A film intertwining several vignettes involving Henry Hall and his BBC dance orchestra, in the studio at broadcast house, and their mishaps at children's outing, and how their music affects listeners on a luxury liner at sea, a mountaineering couple, two men trapped in a jungle cabin, and a court case where Romeo and Juliet-type neighbours fight over a loud wireless set.
