Douglas Brien-Moore, the son, is ancestor conscious. He has been raised to believe that he is a little better than anybody else because of his honored birth and said castle in Ireland.En- gaged to be married to wealthy Doris Dutton, he is pointed out as a really superior person by all of the townspeople. Arrived home from college, the props are complete- ly knocked from.under Douglas when his mother,whose real name is Maggie O'Brien, but who is now known as Margaret Brien-Moore, informs her son that their income has stopped, that they are without funds and that the father, now deceased, has fooled everyone about his noble ancestrygthat he was,in reality,a bricklayer and his mother merely an Irish serving maid! Margaret also informs Douglas that their income has been derived from an uncle, Larry O'Brien,who operates a hot dog and hamburger stand on Coney Island. The stand has been wiped out by a fire. Fearing that the whole town will laugh at him if they discover the truth, Douglas decides to cling to his mytho- logical ancestry. The Brien-Moores have invited a French Count and his,sister to visit them for the summer and the invitation has been accepted. On learning of the intended visit, the Mayor and prominent citizens of the town organize a reception committee, but by mistake they think Uncle Larry and one of his waitresses are the Count and Countess. This leads to complications of a most amusing nature. The news of the mix-up leaks out and the town has the laugh of its life on the Brien-Moores.
