Rachel arrives in New York from her Amish community intent on becoming a dancer. Unfortunately Billy Minsky's Burlesque is hardly the place for her Dances From The Bible.

All too complicated, the more so since her father is scouring the town for her and both Raymond and his straight-man Chick are falling for Rachel.Read moreLess
