Summary
From the precipice of a nascent revolution, Queen Anne of Gzbfernigambia, a sovereign thrust into an unexpected exile, finds herself adrift in the bustling, indifferent metropolis of New York City. Accompanied by her loyal Baron Cosaco, their regal bearing is rapidly deflated by the harsh realities of displacement. Fortuitously, their path intersects with Bob Trainor, a charmingly unpretentious office manager for the influential meat magnate, Adolph Lawton. Bob, with an almost cinematic ease, ushers them into the bewildering domesticity of an East Side apartment, where the erstwhile monarch grapples with the indignities of self-sufficiency, her royal hands clumsily navigating the unfamiliar terrain of housekeeping. Meanwhile, Lawton, ever the social climber, envisions a prestigious union between his daughter, Elizabeth, and a member of the aristocracy. However, Elizabeth's affections are firmly, and inconveniently, anchored to Bob. This creates a simmering rivalry with the displaced queen, whose presence inadvertently complicates the burgeoning romance. The narrative gains a fresh impetus with the arrival of King Stephen of Hetland, Anne's pre-arranged royal suitor, reigniting the diplomatic dance of their intended alliance. A pragmatic financial infusion from the ever-opportunistic Adolph Lawton ultimately liquidates their national debts, paving the way for the unification of their two beleaguered kingdoms. With the monarchical crisis averted and a future secured, the stage is cleared for Elizabeth and Bob to embrace their own, decidedly less regal, but equally heartfelt, engagement.
Synopsis
Queen Anne of Gzbfernigambia, who is betrothed to King Stephen of Hetland, flees to the United States with Baron Cosaco when a revolution breaks out in her country. In New York City, they are befriended by breezy young Bob Trainor, office manager for wealthy meat packer Adolph Lawton, who finds them an apartment on the East Side, where the queen awkwardly attempts to do her own housekeeping. Although Adolph is eager to marry his daughter, Elizabeth, to royalty, she is in love with Bob and becomes jealous of the exiled queen. The arrival of King Stephen revives the royal courtship, however, and after a loan from Adolph enables the monarchs to pay their national debts and unite the two kingdoms, Elizabeth and Bob become engaged.
