Set in the early 20th century, the film focuses on the Robinson family. Patti (Jane Powell) and Melba (Debbie Reynolds), the daughters, are both accomplished in the performing arts, while the Robinson boys love fireworks and mischief.

The Robinson family leaves their home in New York City to stay at "Kissimee in the Catskills," a resort hotel in upstate New York, where love strikes both of the Robinson daughters.
