Hal and June meet through her apartment window, she stuck inside since she can’t leave because she fears being locked out if she does by the landlord due to back rent owed, and he a sign painter painting over the current advertisement directly across from her apartment window. June treats the current sign, which features a knight, as her only constant companion while she’s stuck inside. Hal and June’s connection is primarily through their mutual love of dance. Hal, falling for June on first sight, vows to help her, she who needs work, but who cannot look for work without leaving the apartment. Through their connection, they, including June’s friend Earlyne, who is also helping her while she goes through her own issues of looking for work, can’t help but sing and dance when given the opportunity.
