When a small kingdom's main taxpayer leaves for Paris, its king dispatches a dashing count to win back her allegiance.
The small kingdom of Marshovia has a little problem. The main taxpayer, the wealthy widow Sonia (who pays 52% of the taxes) has left for Paris. So Count Danilo is sent to Paris, to stop her from getting married to a stranger, so that the danger of removing the money is averted. But this is not as easy as the ambassador in Paris has planned.—Stephan Eichenberg <eichenbe@fak-cbg.tu-muenchen.de>
