The hat is brought by Winnie, the girl from Kays, who turns out to be an old friend of Harry's. But as she is giving him a congratulatory kiss, Nora and her family arrive and take the whole thing very much amiss. The honeymoon is off on the wrong foot — she in room 27 and he in room 42. Finally, of course, Nora realises that her jealousy is unjustified. Mixed up in the proceedings are a bevy of bridesmaids and Kays' shopgirls, the obligatory silly-ass (the Hon Percy Fitzthistle), the staff of the honeymoon hotel, the bride's relations and, above all, an American millionaire with a taste for feminine beauty and especially for Winnie, the Girl From Kay's.
