| Summary |
Would-be painter, George Finch, with lots of money and no talent, falls for lovely Molly Waddington, who falls for him. Unfortunately, Molly's snobbish stepmother, Mrs. Sigsbee H. Waddington, New York society Queen, has grander ideas for Molly, not the least because George comes from Idaho, which in every sense is beyond the pale. The story of George's struggle to win his girl, with the willing help of Hamilton Beamish, author of self-improvement pamphlets, and the unwitting assistance of a poetic policeman, Molly's henpecked father, and New York's premier female pickpocket. A light comedy in Wodehouse's most playful vein. |
