One of the stallholders, Kate, is a flower seller who many of the leading music hall stars buy their flowers from. When Kate falls ill and visits the Doctor she is prescribed a stay at the seaside to restore her health. However, she is too ill to work to pay for her visit. Her fellow stallholders rally round, and secretly organise a concert at a nearby pub to help raise the money. They approach all the great musical hall performers (many from the golden era of musical hall) who have used her stall over the years. The concert is successfully staged and Kate is able to head to the seaside.

Jacobs, whose love of the sea and seafarers permeated everything he wrote, was responsible for the story upon which Beauty and the Barge was based. Ethel Smedley (Judy Gunn) plays the headstrong daughter of an Army officer who runs away from home. She is later adopted by Captain Barley, the bargeman Gordon Harker. A very young Jack Hawkins portrays a handsome Lieutenant Seton Boyne (or "leff-tenant", if you prefer) who signs on as a common seaman on Harker's barge in hopes of winning Hawkins' love. Beauty and the Barge also features the unforgettable Margaret Rutherford as Mrs. Baldwin, doing pretty much what she'd been still doing in movies nearly thirty years later-shamelessly stealing every scene she's in.
