His new project matches "Madcap" Mehaffey, an American heiress, with the Grand Duke Henri of Mechlenstein. Julian Soames, pennyless Gran Prix race driver, becomes Pimm's agent in the Mehaffey household. Bumps in the road of true love include Penny, the Mehaffey secretary, and a gang of kidnappers. Good romantic comedy.
