Lovely to Look At

Backstage dressing room, New York: Al receives a letter from Paris announcing his aunt Roberta's death and that he has inherited half of her dress salon business. With their own funds, the Broadway producers decide to travel to Paris to try to sell Al's share.

In Paris, Al meets Stephanie and Clarisse, Roberta's adopted sisters who own the other half of the dress shop. They discover the shop is in severe debt, forcing them to reassess their plans and ambitions.

Debt burdens the shop, and the group decides to expand with a lavish nightclub featuring fashion shows. Al hesitates to propose the idea to Stephanie, knowing she would disapprove.

During a creditors' meeting, Tony marches in and demands they finance the nightclub project. The creditors remain unmoved, escalating the group's sense of urgency and tension.

Shortly after, Bubbles arrives and resumes her relationship with Tony, which disappoints Stephanie. The love triangle complicates the group's dynamics as rival affections surface.

At the lavish nightclub, the three couples and Zsa Zsa's friend Max celebrate with champagne, heightening romantic tension. Tony and Stephanie dance together, provoking Bubbles' jealousy, who leaves with Al in a taxi; Stephanie kisses Tony in a hansom cab and then passes out. Meanwhile, Jerry and Clarisse realize their mutual attraction.

The next morning, Tony arrives to find Stephanie hung over and unable to recall what happened. He reminds her of their kiss and they openly acknowledge their love.

Sometime later, the men invite investors to a comedy routine performed by Al, which succeeds in winning interest. Max Fogelsby offers to finance the Broadway show in New York, leaving Tony torn between his friends and his new romance.

Tony returns to New York but feels guilty for betraying his friends and withdraws from producing the show. Max understands his conflict and sends him back to Paris to help finish the fashion show finale.

Back in Paris, Tony apologizes to his friends and commits to helping finalize the finale. He helps assemble the final preparations to bring the show to life that night.

The finale proves successful, with Tony and Stephanie dancing together, Clarisse and Jerry dancing, and Al and Bubbles sharing a moment as the show closes. The room celebrates a triumphant ending despite the tensions that led there.
