Synopsis: | The Widow Gyurkovics is having trouble finding matrimonial catches for Katinka, Sari and Ella, the older of her seven daughters. Her problem is complicated by the fact that she is bound to the custom of marrying off her daughters in the order of their ages. Mitzi, the fourth daughter, aged 19, is the despair of her mother. Expelled from school for running away to attend a masque ball in the city, she returns home in disgrace. In order to advance her sisters' chances, she is promptly reduced to the age of 15, and compelled to dress and behave as such. Then Feri Horkoy, a dashing lieutenant she met at the ball, crosses her path. She reveals her plight and he wagers that within a year he will see that her older sisters are married off, and Mitzi freed from the "nursery." But he makes a condition that when that happens he shall be rewarded by three kisses. They resort to hilarious intrigues in their plot to ensnare husbands for Katinka, Sari and Ella. But in promoting her sisters' happiness, Mitzi's own romance is threatened, but matters adjust themselves and at the fall of the curtain Horkoy reappears, and claims his reward. | |||||
