The film revolves around, Norman, a world-weary manager of a pier theatre in a seaside resort. Norman has worked in the theatre for all of his life, but will not accept that the local council, which own the theatre, are planning to install more commercial management in an attempt to boost audience numbers. As the story unfolds he realises it may be time to move on and put behind him the ghost of 1950s and 1960s singer Alma Cogan, who had performed at the theatre many years before. Sandra, his devoted long-suffering assistant, and Norman decide to leave the theatre to fulfil her dream of being a professional singer and unexpectedly enjoy a late blossoming romance.
