STORY LINE: When awkward TURNER FIBBS reluctantly accompanies his grandmother
BEATRICE FIBBS to a senior swing dance, he's confused and then delighted when
the room magically transforms into the stunning 1940s military dance hall of her
memories, complete with a full brass orchestra, World War II soldiers having a
grand time with their best gals on the night before shipping out, and of course,
fabulous swing dancing.

TURNER FIBBS: In his early to late 30s, scruffy, unkempt and a bit awkward
around women, he reluctantly accompanies his grandmother Beatrice to a swing
dance for seniors. Feeling like a fish out of water, he can't wait for the
moment when he can leave, and he makes a couple unkind, sarcastic remarks about
the elderly people surrounding him. Suddenly the room transforms into a grand
1940s military dance hall, complete with full brass band and an energetic dance
crowd. Turner finds himself holding a martini glass and dancing with a beautiful
woman. He's stiff and unsure at first, but eventually finds himself having the
time of his life, and understanding why his grandmother was so excited to
re-live the experience. LEAD (1)

BEATRICE FIBBS: Turner's grandmother, in her late 60s-80s, agile, sharp and a
terrific dancer, she's excited for her senior swing dancing event and has been
waiting a long time for it. She remembers how grand and special it was like in
the 1940s, when she used to wear a red dress and cut a rug. Unfortunately,
Turner is uncomfortable with dancing and doesn't provide much in the way of a
dance partner. But when he magically travels to the 1940s and gets to see what
swing dancing was like in its heyday, he returns to the present with a newfound
energy, as well as an appreciation for his grandmother and the dancing. LEAD (1)
