Plot (줄거리)
Jeannie McLean is a young Scottish woman who takes care of her tightfisted father, leaving her no time (and money) for herself. When he dies, she discovers he has left his "fortune" - 297 pounds - to her, nothing to her married sisters. She decides to have some fun for a change, starting with a trip to Vienna.
On the way to and in Vienna, a stranger, Stanley Smith, helps her through various difficulties resulting from her inexperience. As they become acquainted, she tells him she is 26, but he soon discovers (from her passport) that she is 22.
In Vienna, Jeannie makes the acquaintance of Count Ehrlich von Wittgenstein, while Stanley gets to know a blonde model named Margaret. The next day, Stanley sets out to market his invention, a washing machine, while the count takes Jeannie on a tour of the city. She goes shopping for clothes. When Stanley sees her that night, she is completely transformed outwardly. Stanley asks her out, but she is already engaged to go to the opera with the count. Stanley takes Margaret there too. Everywhere the count takes Jeannie, Stanley arranges to be there as well, along with Margaret. Finally, the count asks Jeannie to marry him, but when he learns that she is not rich as he thought, he breaks it off. Jeannie has just money enough left to get home.
Stanley has great success selling his washing machines, but when he goes to Scotland to find Jeannie, no one knows where she is. As luck would have it, she has found work demonstrating Stanley's product. He proposes to her, and after some resistance, she gives in.

Reminded of myself when I came from the sticks to the big city in 1983, and stayed ever since, didn’t care much for Stanley Smith’s character, maybe it’s the actor, Mullen was too soft and placid, she was like mourners at a funeral, scarred of a mouse, whereas Smith was overbearing her opposite extrovert.
