Il existe une superstition dans les théâtres britanniques qui veut que si quelqu'un siffle dans les loges l'actrice la plus proche de la porte va être licenciée, sauf si celle qui a sifflé va faire immédiatement trois tours sur elle-même dans le couloir. C'est ce qui arrive à Leslie James, qui se retrouve à tourner en petite tenue, sous les yeux du comte de Pangborouugh, un riche planteur qui vient juste de rentrer en Angleterre. Mais le comte a lui aussi été remarqué par deux autres danseuses, Gloria et Clytie, qui savent repérer les hommes riches et en tirer profit.

The film is set in Liverpool, where tugboat captain Joe Higgins (Edmund Gwenn), believing he has won a fortune on the football pools, resigns from his job and throws a party in a local public house where family and friends – some of whom have an eye on a share of the winnings – gather to celebrate his good luck. Higgins pays court to the widow Clegg (Maire O'Neill) who he has been wooing, while his daughter Betty (Betty Driver) is targeted by a chancer who sniffs money. The party grinds to a halt with the arrival of the hapless Pat (Jimmy O'Dea), Higgins' Irish first mate on the tugboat, who is forced to admit that he forgot to post the winning pools coupon. There now seems no reason for celebration, but Higgins is mollified when his former employer offers him the captaincy of the best tugboat on the River Mersey, a position to which he had long aspired.
