Cynthia Todd was a young widow, and most extravagantly lovely. She had two children, Bill and Betty, who were most extravagantly lively. They all lived most extravagantly on Park Avenue. Well that is, they did - until one day when Cynthia called up a famous dress salon to speak with Madame Renoir who hasn't delivered the couture dress Cynthia had ordered. Unfortunately, it seems that the check she used to pay for the dress has been rejected for insufficient funds.
