Storyline:  When Prince Danilo falls head over heels for the vivacious dancer Sally O'Hara, his dreams are swiftly shattered by the stern objections of his royal uncle, King Nikita I. Heartbroken and feeling abandoned, Sally weds the elderly and affluent Baron Sadoja, whose unexpected death leaves her a wealthy widow. As Monteblanco's economy teeters on the brink, Danilo's once-dismissive family now sees Sally's fortune as the kingdom's salvation.
