The time is the late 1930s, and our story begins with a giddy throng of young Mayfair swells journeying by motorcar from London to Hampshire. As they ride they anticipate the delights of “A Weekend at Hareford,” especially because of the expected appearance of the long-lost heir to the Earldom of Hareford. No one at Hareford Hall, however, is more anxious to meet him than Lady Jaqueline Carstone who, though engaged to the simpering Gerald Bolingbroke, makes no secret of her desire to snare the Earl for herself (”Thinking of No-One But Me”).
At a conference of the Hareford clan, family solicitor Herbert Parchester relates the unfortunate tale of the 13th Earl who had secretly wed, and soon parted from, a woman beneath his station. With both of them now deceased, the title and the estate pass on to the Earl’s son whom Parchester has located and who is waiting outside. The only hitch: the heir must be deemed a fit and proper person by the two executors of the will, Maria, Duchess of Dene and Sir John Tremayne.
The young man is summoned and he turns out to be Bill Snibson, a pugnacious Cockney ne’er-do-well from Lambeth, complete with bobbing brown bowler, loud checkered suit and flaming red scarf. (“Where do you live?,” Lady Jaquie asks him. “I live in a distant village called London.” “What part?” “All of me.”) This, however, does not faze the determined Duchess who, much to the consternation of Sir John and the others, is certain that she can make Bill into a proper gentleman. But there is another hitch: Bill has brought along his girlfriend, Sally Smith, also from Lambeth. This is too much, even for the Duchess.
With Bill off to fetch Sally, the Hareford relatives listen to Parchester’s bouncy advice to “Bring your troubles more and more to The Family Solicitor,” then follow him as he skips merrily about the room. After they have adjourned to the library, Sally enters with Bill. Dazzled by her surroundings, she feels out of place, but Bill quickly reassures her, “Nobody is going to part Me and My Girl.” That of course, is a song cue, and the twosome join in singing the lilting little number, followed by a snappy buck-and-wing which ends with the pair tapping on top of a long table.
