<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""> </span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:7.5pt;margin-left:0in;text-align:justify;line-height:15.0pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Jack Chesney and Charley Wykeham, two undergraduates at Oxford
University, are in love--Jack with Kitty Verdun, ward of Stephen Spettigue the
Oxford solicitor, and Charley with Amy Spettigue, the solicitor’s niece.
However, neither knows quite how to express his love and his (hopeful) plans
for the future to his girl—until Jack comes up with a plan: It just so happens
that Charley’s aunt, a wealthy widow from Brazil (“where the nuts come from”)
is visiting that very day. So, why not have a luncheon for the girls and
Charley’s aunt? Surely during the afternoon each boy could sneak a few moments
alone with his girl to express his sentiments. Charley has reservations, but
finally consents (partly because he knows old Spettigue is out of town for the
day); and the invitations are sent to the girls via Brassett, Jack’s college
scout.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:7.5pt;margin-left:0in;text-align:justify;line-height:15.0pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Then, to top off the plans, the two students decide to invite Lord
Fancourt Babberley (“Babbs”) to entertain the aunt, while they entertain their
girls. Babbs, however, is not entirely keen on the idea but sympathizes with
his two friends because he, too, is in love (“I’m always wanting to be alone,
and hear the birds sing”). He met his girlfriend on a cruise and has since lost
track of her—but hopes to someday find her and rekindle the romance.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:7.5pt;margin-left:0in;text-align:justify;line-height:15.0pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Then one more is added to the luncheon when Jack’s father, Colonel Sir
Francis Chesney arrives and announces his finances are in disarray and he and
Jack will have to lower their style of living. In an effort to alleviate the
situation, Jack invites him to the luncheon to woo Charley’s aunt and hopefully
marry into her millions.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:7.5pt;margin-left:0in;text-align:justify;line-height:15.0pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">But all plans go awry when the aunt, Donna Lucia d’ Alvadorez,
telegraphs that she won’t be arriving for a few more days. Without the aunt as
chaperone, Charley and Jack quickly realize the girls won’t come to lunch. The
answer presents itself, however, when Babbs enters wearing women’s clothing he
is trying on for a theatrical review. Jack immediately seizes him and calls him
Charley’s aunt, the girls arrive at the door and are let in, and Babbs, not at
all used to this new role, is suddenly forced to masquerade as the doting aunt
from Brazil.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:7.5pt;margin-left:0in;text-align:justify;line-height:15.0pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">All three boys, especially Babbs, are uncomfortable; but things, of
course, only get worse with the arrival of Jack’s father and then
(unexpectedly) of Spettigue. Both men are charmed by “Donna Lucia” and begin to
vie for the rich aunt’s hand as Babbs leads them both on a wild chase. Then,
the high jinx kick into high gear when the real Aunt Donna Lucia appears,
recognizes what is going on, and plays along by taking a different name. Adding
the last wrinkle to this hilarious plot is her traveling companion: Ela,
Babbs’s long-lost love.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:15.0pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Comic confusion reigns
supreme, but all is finally sorted out in the end when, Babbs, still posing as
the aunt, tricks Spettigue into agreeing to the marriage of Kitty, to Jack; the
real aunt marries Jack’s father; Charley gets Amy; and Babbs regains the girl
he loves.</span></p>
