Eight-year-old Willie Sheridan (James Pelham) tap dances through his days, dreaming of performing on Broadway. Encouraged and tutored by his Uncle Dipsey (Charles Honi Coles), a professional dancer, but strongly opposed by his father, Willie finds that his 12-year-old sister Emma (Danielle Spencer) is willing to help him attain his goal. Emma wants to become a lawyer like her father and is self-appointed president of a neighborhood "children's rights crusade", and takes on Willie as a perfect case
