Hedonistic, imaginative young natural Nick Forbes' arrival wrecks stickler Jennie Stanton's expectation of succeeding his aunt Petra as manager of New York's leading party planning firm. Petra even announces her impending retirement with Nick, who felt his Hollywood career wasn't getting him far enough, as "heir", whom Jennie is instructed to work with. His people skills, originality, and feel for fun prove superior. When they collaborate, the result is brilliant, but her jealousy and his impulsiveness complicate team work. Then, she fails to convince the senior executive - with a clear crush on her - of Piedmont conglomerate, which took over retiring Arthur Tyrell's toy firm, her favorite client, whose traditional charitable parties mean the world to her.—KGF Vissers
