Summer, 1925

Meek Jane Bellwether, masquerading as a shopgirl in her father's department store, loves Charley Dill, an honest and upwardly mobile accountant. But Jane's mother demands a son-in-law with a noble title.

Princess Flavia of Ruritania, the scandalous "Princess Flapper", urgently needs a temporary husband to foil the schemes of the powerful Syndicate.

Flavia persuades Jane to let her borrow Charley, who somehow found himself in the brig of an ocean liner. There's an abrupt shipboard wedding and Charley Dill becomes, under protest, the most famous bridegroom on two continents.

What begins as a lively farce is quickly fraught with action, intrigue, spectacle, love, tears, and Ballyhoo -- the fads, follies and celebrity worship that made the twenties roar.

If you loved "The Prisoner of Zenda", you'll enjoy this playful return to Ruritania. It comes complete with passion, derring-do, and even a cameo from an old Englishman named Rassendyll.
