Jim Hardy, Ted Hanover and Lila Dixon have a popular song-and-dance show in New York. On Christmas Eve, Jim prepares for his final performance before retiring to marry Lila and live on a Connecticut farm. Lila tells Jim she's fallen in love with notorious charmer Ted instead; heartbroken, Jim bids them farewell.

He tries to work on the farm but ends up in a sanatorium. The following Christmas Eve, Jim is back in New York and plans to turn his farm into a "Holiday Inn", an entertainment venue open only on holidays, much to the delight of Ted and his agent Danny Reed. In a flower store, Danny is approached by an aspiring salesgirl and artist, Linda Mason, whom he steers toward the Holiday Inn and Ted's club. Later that night, Linda and Jim accidentally meet at Ted and Lila's show. Jim poses as the owner of a rival club, while Linda pretends to be a famous friend of Ted's, before running away as Ted and Lila approach.

We'd like to issue a special challenge to the cooks at the residence. We'd like to launch a contest for L'Initial's best dessert. Each contestant will prepare his or her own special dessert to compete with the other desserts in the residence. For the occasion, we'll have a jury made up of staff and residents. The jury will taste the desserts, without knowing who has concocted them, based on the following criteria: originality, taste, appearance and decoration. If this is a challenge that appeals to you, please contact your leisure chef. The tasting will take place in front of an audience to make it more official. This contest will be hosted by your Leisure Chef. Following the tasting, our winning dessert will be revealed, and the remaining desserts will be distributed to anyone who wants one, while supplies last! This activity will take place in the Salon Piano. On that note, let's get cooking!
