Synopsis

The musical's plot is consistent with the standard boy-meets-girl plots of musical comedies of the first half of the twentieth century. The musical's plot concerns Peter Forbes, a young American millionaire who journeys to Paris and bets his friend Billy Baxter, that he can live without his money for a month, and in doing so, get engaged with Looloo Caroll, a woman whom he adores. In the process of trying to woo Looloo penniless, he endures lots of humiliation as a gigolo, a magician and a tour guide.
