Hotel magnate Edwardo Acuna has a thorn in his side. Maria, his beautiful nubile daughter, refuses to seriously consider marriage. A traditional patriarch, Mr. Acuna wants his girls married off one by one. So until Maria's mated, he won't allow either of her lovesick younger sisters to wed. Knowing Maria likes orchids, her father creates a secret admirer by sending anonymous love letters and fresh flowers from a mystery man. When Robert, a talented entertainer in Mr. Acuna's employ, delivers one of the phony love letters, Maria mistakes him for the suitor in question. After Robert takes one look at Maria, he decides he doesn't mind being mistaken for her smitten wooer. But a tap-dancing crooner is last thing Acuna wants for a son-in-law.
