In 1963, Frances "Baby" Houseman, a sweet daddy's girl, goes with her family to a resort in the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York. Baby has grown up in a privileged environment and everyone expects her to go to college, join the Peace Corps and save the world before marrying a doctor, like her father. Unexpectedly, Ella Baby falls in love with the camp's dance instructor, Johnny Castle, a man whose background is very different from hers. Baby lies to her father to get money to pay for an illegal abortion for Johnny's dance partner. She then replaces herself as Johnny's dance partner and it is when he is teaching her the dance routine that they fall in love with her. Everything falls apart when Johnny's friend falls seriously ill after her abortion and Baby recovers her father, who saves the girl's life. She later finds out what Baby has been doing, with whom and worse still, that she financed the illegal abortion. He prohibits his daughter from any other association with "those people." In the first deliberately deliberate action of her life, Baby then sneaks out to see Johnny, apparently to apologize for her father's rudeness, and ends up consummating her relationship with Johnny. A jealous vacation buddy sees Baby sneak out of Johnny's bungalow the next morning and, in an act of revenge, tells management that he is responsible for a robbery the night before, knowing she would not reveal his true whereabouts. .
