Spring Parade

A fortune teller in a small Austrian village claims that perky Ilonka (Durbin) is destined to marry an "artist" whom she'll meet in Vienna. Ilonka is puzzled because she doesn't live in Vienna, but miraculously ends up there after falling asleep in a hay wagon. She meets a soldier drummer (Cummings) who has the potential to be a talented composer (as such, an artist), but the military won't let him. To gain recognition, Ilonka smuggles one of his compositions to the Austrian Emperor in one of his weekly pastry deliveries. Difficulties and misunderstandings inevitably follow, although Ilonka's hair-brained act sets the stage for a melodious and happy fulfillment of the fortune teller's predictions.
