Lovely ice ballerina Lila Leighton meets former ice show producer Carl Lang at his New York City penthouse apartment and refuses his offer to star in his new Music Hall Ice Show. Back at the Music Hall, Lila discovers she has left her purse at Lang's apartment and goes back there, followed by orchestra leader Don Jordan; they discover that Carl has been stabbed to death. Lila's understudy Gracie has also followed them there and helps them remove traces of Lila's visit. They also find a pair of kid gloves, and the laundry mark leads Don to wealthy socialite Rita Morgan, wife of George Morgan, and Rita turns out to be a former ice-skating star for Carl Lang's Music Hall shows. Rita admits to being in Lang's apartment but says he was in excellent health when she left, and says she passed no one except a blind man. Don and Lila discover that the 'blind man' was really Rita's husband, George Morgan, who claims he used the disguise in order to trail and protect his wife. The NYC police are also on the case, and with the help of Don and Lila, succeed in solving the murder.
