Various shots of elegant people in evening dress dancing at Casani's Club. Charlie Kunz is seen playing the piano (the top of his head is not quite in shot). M/S of the famous dance instructor and owner of the club, Santos Casani, clinking glasses with a blonde woman then sipping his cocktail.
Several shots of women modelling swimsuits on the dance floor for the seated diners. Intertitle introduces "the graceful and popular waltz... the latest, demonstrated by Santos Casani and Jean Mence". Santos and Jean glide around the dance floor as the band play a waltz.

The final act we see is rubber-limbed contortionist Daphne de Witt, slowly rolling head over heels across the dance floor.
