✦ Synopsis

A pair of men-about-town and a brace of spirited ladies battle a greedy, dishonest guardian and an authoritarian, penny-pinching father to find true love. Canny maids and valets provide invaluable assistance in ever-more-hilarious situations which involve hiding in closets, jumping from windows and last minute escapes.

The figure of the Busy-Body (who almost ruins everything with his nosiness and general bungling) proved such a hit with audiences that he was given a central role in another play, "Marplot in Lisbon".
