Summary

Pathe synopsis: One of the most popular boats among the floating village at Cubitt’s Yard, just outside London (to the male neighbours, anyway) is owned by showgirl Judy Harvey. When the boat needs redecorating, Judy asks along a few dancers from London’s Latin Quarter to show a leg and get busy with the brushes.
