Donald Hardwick (Dick Powell) is a stuffy classical‑music professor whose family and small‑town conservatory share his conservative outlook. He goes to New York to sell his Rhapsody to his eccentric aunt, where he encounters her lively swing‑music crowd. A seemingly harmless “lemonade” turns out to be a potent Hurricane, sparking dramatic changes in his life.
