Based on David Stuart Leslie's novel Two Left Feet is a story about Alan Crabbe (Michael Crawford), a callow youth desperate for a date with any girl who can offer him the experience he lacks. Every time Alan tries a manful stride into the jungle of sex, his two left feet turn the attempt into a trip-and-stumble. Then he meets Eileen (Nyree Dawn Porter), the new waitress at the corner cafe, who signals unmistakable messages with her large inviting eyes.
