It's Tess' graduation day from "Miss Drake's School for Girls". During the choir's performance at the ceremony, Tess notices that her beautiful divorcee mother, Louise Rayton Morgan, isn't there. Louise, an editor for Modern Design Publication, is lying in Dr. Cannon's office; she fainted from overwork and over-stress. At home after the graduation ceremony, Dr. Cannon has a talk with Tess and her sisters Ilka and Alix, telling them that their mother badly needs a vacation, but the only way she can relax is if she goes without the girls. The girls agree; Louise is reluctant, but she goes. The girls see their mother off on her one month Cuban cruise. When the girls get home they discuss their mother, and believe if they bring their father back home it will make their mom happy and healthy again. In reality, Louise has kept the truth about their father from them: he was actually a very uncaring man who left them, left Louise to raise them alone. The girls go to see their father's boss, Robert Nelson, to locate their father and bring him home. Meanwhile, on Louise's Cuban cruise, she meets famed pianist and conductor, Jose Iturbi. Jose is immediately taken by Louise, but she plays hard-to-get, but has the time of her life. When Louise finally returns home, she has a secret to tell the girls, but, the girls have a secret too..
