Sporting a pepper-red wig, a low English accent, and the ever-ready air of a lass who welcomes surprise, Kim is pinched, pursued, manhandled, and upended at regular intervals. She excels in barroom brawls and petticoat larceny: popping a gentleman's ring onto her tongue, she kisses him until he has to surface, then drops the gem into her decolletage...
...beating an Australian at anything is a considerable chore. For five innings of the final game, Australia's Lorraine Woolley and the U.S.'s Donna Lo Piano toiled through a scoreless pitching duel. The Aussies had a bit of a scare in the fifth when a U.S. lass tripled, but tight defensive play left her stranded on third. Then in the sixth, Australia's Eleanor McKenzie doubled.

Defying the laws of levity, it follows an ebullient, money-grubbing Irish lass who marries a miner and gets rich so she can sashay in Denver's high society. When the bluebloods snub her, she flounces off to Yurrup to bring home some dukes and duchesses, finally earns her place among the snobs and saves her marriage-for reasons clear only to musical comedy authors-by surviving the Titanic disaster...
