The slim Princess Kalora of Morovenia is the despair of her father and fat younger sister because there is a Turkish law which reads that the elder must marry first and there is a Turkish preference for fat wives. Kolora is not only slim but spirited and she merrily takes her destiny into her own hands and, assisted by a kindly Fate, succeeds in marrying a venturesome young Pittsburgh millionaire. The story is breezy, clever and full of cheerful irony.
