To receive their inheritance all they have to do perform his legendary act the Hot Shoe Shuffle with a sister they never knew existed. The problem is that April has two left feet! Coached by a friend of their fathers, Max Renfield, the brothers eventually overcome their resentment and suspicion of April, and she becomes part of the family and the show.
