"The Emperor Waltz"

Starring: Bing Crosby, Joan Fontaine, Roland Culver

At the turn of the 20th century, travelling salesman and amateur drummer Virgil Smith journeys to Vienna in the hope he can sell a gramophone to Emperor Franz Joseph, whose purchase of the recent American invention could spur its popularity in Austria. At the same time, Countess Johanna Augusta Franziska von Stoltzenberg-Stolzenberg and her father, Baron Holenia, are celebrating the fact their black poodle Scheherezade has been selected to mate with the emperor's poodle. As they depart from the palace, they meet Virgil and his white fox terrier Buttons, whose scuffle with Scheherezade leads to a discussion about class distinctions.

When Scheherezade experiences a nervous breakdown, she is treated by veterinarian Dr. Zwieback, who practices Freudian psychology, and he advises Johanna to force her dog to face Buttons in order to dissipate her fear. When the dogs are reunited, romantic sparks begin to fly between not only the animals but their owners as well. They begin to spend a great deal of time together, during which Scheherezade and the emperor's dog mate.

Virgil eventually convinces Johanna true love can overcome their social differences, and he asks the emperor for her hand in marriage. Certain Johanna could never be happy living in Newark, New Jersey, the emperor tells Virgil he will purchase the gramophone only if he breaks up with Johanna. Virgil ends their engagement, telling Johanna he used her in order to gain access to the emperor...
