What’s it all about: Fresh from auditions for “The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries,” Jessica Harper enrolls at a dance academia in Germany, even though she can’t dance. Her most interesting roommate (Barbara Magnolfi) disappears!But not because of evil forces – this film just tends to lose its own plot.
