Life was always simple for Sally Nicholas - until she became rich.
Being unaccustomed to owning a great deal of money, Sally hasn't got the
hang of it yet. Which is why she agrees to backing a show written by her
fiance Gerald and staged by her brother Fillmore. It seems like a good way
of making them all happy... But when Ginger Kemp, a rather hopeless,
charming young man Sally met in Roville, appears in America and offers
not-very-glad tidings about Gerald, he really puts the cat among the
pigeons.
