Petrovenia, a fictional eastern European country, is on the verge of bankruptcy. Its richest citizen, a young widow, is pursued by her countrymen – who want to keep her money in the country and block marriage proposals from foreigners. The widow and one of her suitors were once in love and now her money and his pride stand in the way of a new romance.
