Plot

Mr. Quaker, the American "Oyster King", resides with his unmarried daughter, Ossi, in a mansion attended by a large staff of servants. After hearing about a rival debutante's recent marriage to a count, Ossi throws a tantrum. Also competitive, Mr. Quaker promises his daughter that he will find a suitable prince for her to marry. They engage a matchmaker, who locates Prince Nucki, an indebted down-on-his-luck royal, who hides his wealth from his poorer friends and his poverty from his wealthier associates. Hoping that the match would improve his financial situation, Prince Nucki agrees to send his friend Josef to meet Ossi on his behalf.
