Royal Wedding

An American brother-and-sister dancing duo, Tom and Ellen Bowen, are booked to perform in London for the wedding of Queen Victoria's grandson, Prince Charming. While Ellen falls for an Irish peer, Lord Saybrook, Tom finds himself unexpectedly falling for a beautiful chorus girl, Anne. Their blossoming romances threaten their professional partnership and their scheduled performances during the royal wedding festivities.
