La storia del Windmill Theatre nella Londra degli anni Trenta, della proprietaria del teatro Laura Henderson e del suo manager Vivian Van Damm. Questa bizzarra coppia di impresari teatrali passò alla storia per avere mostrato nudi femminili al pubblico inglese durante la guerra. In realtà furono ricordati per avere regalato inaspettati momenti di gioia alla città di Londra, in un momento in cui il morale della popolazione era seriamente provato dai ripetuti bombardamenti.
