Sonny Malone attempts to make a living as a freelance artist but fails, and he returns to his old job of painting album cover reproductions at AirFlo Records.
Déanann Sonny Malone iarracht slí bheatha a dhéanamh mar shaor-ealaíontóir ach teipeann air, agus filleann sé ar a shean jab ag péinteáil macasamhla clúdaigh albam ag AirFlo Records.
He rips up one of his failed freelance drawings and throws it into the wind, and it hits a mural of the Nine Muses of Olympus and brings them to life.
Sracann sé ceann de na líníochtaí neamhspleácha a theip air agus caitheann sé isteach sa ghaoth é, agus buaileann sé múrmhaisiú de Nine Muses Olympus agus tugann sé beo iad.
The sisters fly up into the sky, but one of them, Terpsichore, returns to Earth.
Eitlíonn na deirfiúracha suas sa spéir, ach filleann duine acu, Terpsichore, ar an Domhan.
Terpsichore proceeds to roller skate through town, and collides with Sonny, leading her to kiss him before skating away.
Leanann Terpsichore ar aghaidh ag scátáil tríd an mbaile, agus imbhuaileann sé le Sonny, rud a fhágann go bpógann sí é sula dtéann sé ag scátáil ar shiúl.
Later, Sonny is tasked with painting the album cover for a group called The Nine Sisters, which shows Terpsichore standing in front of an abandoned art deco auditorium.
Níos déanaí, tá sé de chúram ar Sonny clúdach an albaim a phéinteáil do ghrúpa darb ainm The Nine Sisters, a thaispeánann Terpsichore ina sheasamh os comhair halla éisteachta art deco tréigthe.
The cameraman reveals that the woman was not supposed to be on the cover, but suddenly appeared in a few of the shots.
Nochtann an fear ceamara nach raibh an bhean ceaptha a bheith ar an gclúdach, ach go tobann bhí sí le feiceáil i gcúpla ceann de na seatanna.
Sonny goes to the auditorium and finds Terpsichore, who introduces herself as Kira.
Téann Sonny chuig an halla éisteachta agus aimsíonn sé Terpsichore, a thugann Kira isteach.
The two of them fall in love, though Kira refuses to tell Sonny anything about herself.
Titeann an bheirt acu i ngrá, cé go ndiúltaíonn Kira aon rud a rá léi féin faoi Sonny.
Sonny meets and befriends Danny McGuire, a has-been big band orchestra leader turned construction mogul.
Buaileann Sonny le Danny McGuire agus déanann sé cairdeas leis, ceannaire ceolfhoirne bannaí mór le rá a rinne mogul tógála.
Danny once had a muse in the 1940s who looked significantly like Kira.
Bhí músc ag Danny uair amháin sna 1940idí a raibh cuma shuntasach air mar Kira.
Kira encourages Sonny and Danny to open a nightclub at the auditorium, and the two begin working on this project as partners.
Spreagann Kira Sonny agus Danny club oíche a oscailt ag an halla éisteachta, agus tosaíonn an bheirt ag obair ar an tionscadal seo mar chomhpháirtithe.
However, Kira eventually confesses to Sonny that she is a Muse and cannot stay in love with him.
Mar sin féin, admhaíonn Kira le Sonny sa deireadh gur Muse í agus nach féidir léi fanacht i ngrá leis.
Sonny gets upset, and Kira leaves Earth.
Éiríonn Sonny trína chéile, agus fágann Kira an Domhan.
Danny tells Sonny to keep pursuing Kira, encouraging Sonny not to give up on his ambitions like he did after his own muse left him.
Deir Danny le Sonny leanúint ar aghaidh le Kira, ag spreagadh Sonny gan a uaillmhianta a thabhairt suas mar a rinne sé tar éis dá mhíol féin é a fhágáil.
Sonny manages to enter Kiras home, a forbidden place called Xanadu, by roller skating into the Muses mural.
Éiríonn le Sonny dul isteach i dteach Kira, áit thoirmiscthe darb ainm Xanadu, trí scátáil sorcóir isteach i múrmhaisiú na Muses.
Inside the realm of the gods, Kiras father Zeus denies Sonnys plea to let Kira come back to Earth, and despite Kiras mother Mnemosyne interceding for Sonny and Kira, Zeus ultimately sends Sonny back to Earth.
Taobh istigh de réimse na déithe, séanann athair Kira Zeus pléadáil Sonny ligean do Kira teacht ar ais go dtí an Domhan, agus in ainneoin go ndearna máthair Kira Mnemosyne idirghabháil do Sonny agus Kira, cuireann Zeus Sonny ar ais go dtí an Domhan sa deireadh.
Kira then professes her feelings for Sonny, and her parents decide to let her go back to him for “a moment, or maybe forever.”
Ansin gairmíonn Kira a mothúcháin do Sonny, agus socraíonn a tuismitheoirí ligean di dul ar ais chuige ar feadh “nóiméad, nó b’fhéidir go deo.”
Kira and the Muses perform at the grand opening of Sonny and Dannys nightclub Xanadu before returning to their realm.
Feidhmíonn Kira agus na Muses ag oscailt mhór chlub oíche Sonny agus Danny Xanadu sula bhfillfidh siad ar a réimse féin.
Sonny is saddened by their departure, but upon seeing a waitress who looks exactly like Kira, he stops her and asks to talk.
Tá brón ar Sonny as a n-imeacht, ach nuair a fheiceann sé freastalaí a bhfuil an chuma air go díreach le Kira, stopann sé í agus iarrann sé labhairt.
