Cole Porter, G. Schirmer, Inc

A patriotic American senator wants his daughter to marry a proper American cowboy rather than a titled foreigner. The daughter and her English duke suitor scheme to outwit the senator, leading to romantic mix-ups across the American West as the show satirizes both European snobbery and American jingoism.
