A young man with plenty of ideas, he borrows! A dress Huit left to bo pressed and invades a social function, where the fun begins, Ha mert's A merchant prince and mahages to impress the magnate with his idens,
He lands a big executive position. and then lands himself-id a mess, but in characteristic Haine's fashion, he comen through with flying coloure, but not before ho has given the audiones plenty of hilarity,
The supporting cost includes Darothy Jordan, Joseph Cawthorn, and Marjorie Tambean.
