A musical comedy by Henrik Ege , with lyrics by James Dyrenforth and music by Kenneth Leslie-Smith and The cast also includes: Jack Train , Maurice Denham , Horace Percival , and Hugh Morton The BBC Revue Chorus and the Dance Orchestra conducted by Billy
Production by Ronald Waldman
When an American undergraduate, George Massalink , who runs the football team but doesn't know a note of music, undertakes to impersonate his elder brother, Elmer Massalink , an internationally famous jazz composer, to save him from being mobbed on a trip to Europe, simply because the young man wants to see Europe, one may expect all sorts of trouble and awkward moments. When George, impersonating Elmer, meets a girl as captivating as Mary on the boat, one may expect laughter, adventure, and romance. Such is the situation to be worked out in the first new radio musical comedy to be broadcast since the war.
