Comedy, Romance | Rudyard Morley, an eccentric ambassador from the Court of Saint James, is on a goodwill lecture tour of the United States. His English gourmet cook is unable to accompany him, and this upsets him more than a little bit. He hires a cook of eighteen years' service to a New England socialite. This act of diplomatic rudeness gives rise to several complications which grow more problematic after Morley's daughter begins a romance with the son of the socialite.
