Overview
Louie Blore, attendant in the men's washroom of the Club Petite in New
York, wins $75,000 in the Irish sweeps. Having long had his eye on the
star of the floor show, May Daly, Louie seeks to win her away from Alex
Barton, the young man to whom she is engaged. He tries to put Alex away
with knock-out drops, but mixes up the glasses and drinks the potion
himself. During his delirium, Louie dreams that he is Louis XIV and that
May Daly is Du Barry, his mistress. His unsuccessful pursuit of May
continues through the gardens and boudoirs of 18th-century Versailles.
When he awakens, Louie realizes that he has no chance with May and will
have to settle for her friendship.
