The Robinson family are vacationing in the Catskills. Older daughter Patti Robinson (Jane Powell) has no time for young men like Billy but she has her eyes set on older foreign gentleman Demi Armendez (Ricardo Montalban). Younger sister Melba (Debbie Reynolds) is interested in Billy but he refuses to let go of Patti.
Jane Powell may be playing the lead character but Debbie Reynolds is the star. "Aba Daba Honeymoon" is just so fun. There is no way to not like the song. Debbie and Carleton Carpenter form a good song and dance team. He's so tall and she's so adorable. They could have been the leads but Debbie was a no-name newbie at that time. This is a fair musical but not a great one.
