The Golden Arrow Page #7

Synopsis: It's the Florida party season for heiresses, with both Oklahoma oil heiress Hortense Burke-Meyers and New York face cream heiress Daisy Appleby in the state. And where the single American heiresses are, the European bachelor set wanting their hand in marriage are close at hand. While nouveau riche, uncouth Hortense courts the attention, the excitement and the European bachelors clamoring after her, Daisy is more reclusive, wanting to stay out of the party scene and limelight by hiding aboard her yacht. Daisy desperately wants to marry for love, and not marry because it makes good print (and thus sell more face cream for her father), especially as she knows those European men are only after her money. So Daisy offers a proposition to Johnny Jones, a Florida Star newspaper reporter she befriends: marry her out of convenience. What she wants is that marriage license to dissuade all those European suitors while she quietly searches for that true love, a man with simple, American values. In

Where did you get that crazy idea?

I recognized that Parker person.

He's a motor Cop.

A what?

A motor Cop. He rides down Park Avenue.

Why, I was so certain, I engaged a

lawyer to investigate Daisy Appleby.

Why, she used to be a

cashier in a cafeteria.

How will that look when

I spill it to the papers?

Excuse me.

See you later, Johnny.

Send up all the reporters you can find.

I'll take the rest of this.

Why, Johnny.

Of course you're right.

We should keep up appearances.

Appearances, huh?

For the cream, I suppose?

Yes, that's it.

Alright.

Johnny!

The cream for all and all for the cream.

Johnny!

What's the idea?

Where is your black eye?

Hey, wait a minute.

What's the idea?

Now that's for the Polo pnies.

Go on, get in there.

Where to? Any place,

Well ..

Shut up.

Alright.

I was going to tell you something.

I wouldn't believe you anyway.

You little phony.

Phony?

Phony.

Phony? Then you know?

I know everything.

All except that two-wheeled Cop, Parker.

Hmm .. he's the biggest phony of all.

He's my sister's husband.

A nice family. All phonies.

If you don't mind my asking,

where are we going?

You're going home.

No I'm not, because I

haven't got a home.

Yes you have and

you'll stay in this one.

Because it's on an island.

I'm not so sure I'd

like love in a cottage.

It isn't a cottage. It's a shack.

Where do you people want to go?

Look .. he's one-up on us.
