В посольстве государства Маршовия в Вашингтоне узнают, что одна из их соотечественниц - Кристалл Радек стала вдовой и ей от покойного мужа достались восемьдесят миллионов долларов. Посол и атташе бегут в дом вдовы с приглашением посетить родную отчизну, где должно состояться открытие памятника ее покойному мужу, но это только предлог, чтобы выманить женщину из США. Главная цель этих ребят и их короля, чтобы вдова не вышла замуж за иностранца: иначе ее деньги будут потеряны для родины. Надо, чтобы мужем вдовы стал подданный Понтеведро. Все высокопоставленные мужчины страны женаты, холостяк один - граф Данило, и ради "интересов государства" он должен жениться на ее миллионах...

The film begins with a knuckle-head playboy (Preston Foster) working on a road crew dressed in a tux in order to win a bet. Apparently, this guy will take on any bet or act on a whim. This becomes very apparent when he disrupts a food giveaway hosted by the mayor's daughter and as a result of this, he announces he's running for mayor--though he seems very much apolitical and has no interest in the job. Later, when he once again meets up with the mayor's daughter (Joan Fontaine) they supposedly fall in love--although there seemed to be little chemistry between them and it made very little sense for Fontaine to suddenly love a guy she so quickly hated at the beginning of the film. Plus, she really had plenty of reason to dislike the guy.

Хепберн, как в той же степени вышедшая из ума графиня Аурелия, безумная из Шайо, измеряет жизнь где-то между любовником, потерянным много лет назад, и пропавшим боа с перьями.
