Although Cyrill Fotheringay-Phipps, fondly known as Barmy, only consulted a fortune-teller to take the weight off his feet, it did seem as though the old crystal ball had had an eyeful. Had he not met 'Dinty', the fair girl to end all fair girls, and was he not about to enrich the Broadway theatrical scene?

Love is a powerful spur, and Cyril Fotheringay-Phipps (known to his friends as Barmy) invests his modest fortune in a stage production, encouraged by his admiration for the delectable Miss Dinty Moore. And so he demonstrates that affairs of the heart and high finance may be happily combined.
