Schultz, Sigmund Franz, Impresario, producer of flops in London's West End. A walking or sometimes chauffeur-driven and often boot-propelled disaster area. Which disasters are often indulgently plotted by his aristocratic partners His Amazing Grace Basil Nectarine and the languid Binky. But more frequently caused by Schultz's desperate need to seduce as many beautiful women as is humanly possible and then more. Meanwhile fighting furiously in the battle for bachelordom and in an unquenchable quest for the soothing balm of box-office riches embellished by a beautiful woman who will sock him in the spiritual solar-plexus...

Donleavy continues the adventures of one of his most popular heroes, show biz impressario and libertine extraordinaire, Franz Sigmund "Isadorable" Schultz. Now amidst mayhem and confusion, Shultz turns to the eminent Rabbi Low for assistance.
