When song-and-dance man Harry Van returns from World War I, he finds
work hard to come by. His greatest success comes as straight man in a
phony vaudeville mind-reading act with the tipsy Madame Zulieka. While
on tour in Omaha he meets acrobat Irene Fellara, and they have a brief
romance. Twenty years later while Harry is on tour in Europe with a
troupe of leggy blonde dancers, his train is stopped at the Swiss border
and he finds himself stranded in the Alps in anticipation of World War
II hostilities. Harry and his chorines take refuge in an Alpine hotel
with a group of disparate travelers who are also marooned there. Among
them are an American pacifist, British newlyweds, a cancer researcher, a
German munitions manufacturer, and a beautiful blonde expatriate
Russian aristocrat who looks suspiciously like the Irene of two decades
earlier.
