Jimmy and Sheila Broadbent (Rex Harrison and Kay Kendall), following an absence of many years, return to London to present their 17-year-old, American-born daughter, Jane (Sandra Dee), to society. Difficulties range from Jane's apathy to being placed on the marriage block; the determined efforts of Sheila's old friend Mabel Claremont (Angela Lansbury) to win wealthy David Fenner (Peter Myers) for her debutante daughter Clarissa (Diane Clare); and Jane's attraction to David Parkson (John Saxon), American drummer who plays in the orchestra at the coming-out balls.
