ACT 1 is in the Torquay studio of Roily Ryder (Laddie Cliff), who has just married Joyce (Connie Emerald) in spite of having been forbidden by his uncle, Nicholas Wich, to marry. On the other hand, Jerry Walker (Stanley Lupino) is being urged to marry Junetta against his wishes. Jack Stanton has impersonated Lord Luston to impress Valerie St. Clair (Madge Elliott).
The excerpt opens with a duet between Roily and Joyce - 'I'm on the crest of a wave,' followed by Jerry's dramatic arrival. Jack Stanton's entrance precedes his song, 'After the Girl,' and Valerie St. Clair arrives, and they finish this excerpt with a duet - 'You've made a difference to me.'

ACT II opens in the Garden. The Uncles Wich and Watt have meanwhile arrived, and Roily, Jack, and Jerry sing 'Love Lies.' The real Lord Luston then complains of his treatment at Jerry's hands. Wills the butler says they are all driving him crazy, and the excerpt closes with Jerry's song, 'I lift up my finger.'
