Each of the three Prozorov sisters, living in a provincial Russian town of the last century, suffers from disappointment and disillusion. Masha, wed to an absurd pedagogue, finds, only to lose, her true love, Colonel Vershinin; Olga, the eldest, is doomed to spend the dreary minutes of her existence as a high-school superintendent; and Irina, the youngest, hating her provincial life, no longer able to "remember the Italian for window or ceiling," sees her last chance for escape disappear when her fiance is killed in a duel...

These complications are set to smooth music by Jerome Kern, which is served up, with whipped cream, by Xavier Cugat. Hoofer Astaire sings two tunes aptly enough to raise one of Bing Crosby's sleepy eyebrows, conducts Miss Hayworth through a lush nocturnal duet...
