Only in the nick of time is he reinstated, and the oldest minx marries the shy music instructor, Philip ("Poop"), who calls his baby grand piano "B. G."

Whereas most actresses play the Paduan minx as though she were a frustrated psychopath, Miss Fontanne plays her as though she were a young tilly simply spoiling for a good licking.
