[edit] Synopsis
Delia Dale works in the "Sunshine" Soap Factory at Port Sunshine. She loves Vernon Blundell, another worker. But Vernon is really the heir to the whole place who, by terms of his inheritance, has to go five years without getting engaged or married. He wants to be loved for himself, not his position, so he gets his friend Lord Bicester to pose as head of the establishment. Bicester, however, is recognised by his finacée, Lady Rosabelle, and by ex-cabby Floot and his wife, Brenda. Amusing complications ensue, but all ends happily.
