Dance Hall (1929)

Mild-mannered shipping clerk Tommy Flynn (Arthur Lake) attempts to dance his way into the heart of Gracie Nolan (Olive Borden), a dance-hall taxi-dancer, but he is thwarted by Ted Smith (Ralph Emerson), a dashing, caddish stunt pilot, who swoops in and plucks the delectable damsel away. Not for long, however, since time proves the aviator unworthy, and Tommy and Gracie are cemented together as dancing partners for life.
