...spends the $600 his wife Veronica had set aside for return passage to Ireland. When he finally confesses this, Veronica sobs, slams and locks the bedroom door and leaves Ginger to warm his imagination on two quarts of beer. Armed with false courage and the recommendations of a cartoonist friend named Gerry Grosvenor, Ginger applies to the Montreal Tribune to become a Gentleman of the Press.
