It is based upon Wodehouse and Guy Bolton's book for the 1918 musical Oh, Lady! Lady!!.[2]
Set during Prohibition, the story tells of the romantic troubles of George Finch, a short-statured would-be artist living in New York's Greenwich Village. George falls in love with Molly Waddington but faces opposition from her socially ambitious step-mother, who wants Molly to marry an English lord.
One of the novel's characters, Officer Garroway, returns in Galahad at Blandings (1964). The Waddingtons' butler Ferris appears to be the same Ferris employed as butler at Ashby Hall in Company for Henry (1967).[3]
