A nightclub owner and her boyfriend in 19th-century Paris stage a risque act based on the celebrated dance, only to find themselves threatened with legal action and the prospect of having to close down their establishment. Musical drama, starring Frank Sinatra, Shirley MacLaine, Maurice Chevalier and Louis Jourdan. Featuring songs by Cole Porter, including C'est Magnifique, I Love Paris and Let's Do It.

A Parisian nightclub owner known for her performances of the can-can attracts the ire of a self-righteous judge. He hatches a plot to photograph her in the act but ends up falling for her — much to the chagrin of her lawyer boyfriend.
