Magician Count Baloni blows up at his glamorous assistant Princess Annebel, because she's distracted on-stage by the constant attendance of the handsome Freddie Fitch-Fitch. Annebel doesn't care that Freddie's a freeloader, but Freddie views getting engaged as a way to pry loose his trust fund from his uncle Sir Aylmer Bastable. Bastable, confined to the snooty Droitgate Spa, has just lost his nurse, inspiring the not-very-bright Freddie to a scheme.
