Synopsis
The wealthy Quaker, American king of the oyster, has a capricious daughter who has decided, on a sudden impulse, to get married, and publishes an ad in the newspaper. Nucki, a ruined and party-loving prince, smells a good deal. He sends his servant, but Ossie misidentifies him and marries him. A euphoric film where every scene seems to be choreographed.
