Michael is sitting in his office when Jimmie stops by for a visit. Michael yells at Jimmie for sitting on his desk and randomly grabbing items and looking at them. On opening night the Peach Tree Inn is packed with people who wanted to see who they thought was Gloria. Jimmie has a ring side seat while Kitty Maguire, does her original dance, The Peacock Promenade. Afterwards, Larry goes to Kitty's dressing room and tells her he wants her to meet someone and takes her to Jimmie's table. Jimmie continues to go to the Peach Tree Inn to see Kitty. Over time Jimmie tells Michael that he wants to marry Kitty. Michael then calls Larry McKean and tells him he wants a dinner set for Gloria. During the evening of the dinner Michael ordered, he hopes Kitty gets drunk and Jimmie will tire of her, but she stays sober.

The Duke de Sauterne arrives at the inn and Larry introduces him to Michael's party. The Duke walks over to Kitty and kisses her hand, which upsets Jimmie. The next morning, Jimmie sees the Duke grabbing at Kitty and he and the Duke get into a fight. Kitty runs away and takes a taxi to her apartment and the Duke and Francois chase after her followed by everyone else. He starts to sexually assault her again and Jimmie kicks down the door and he and the Duke get into another fight. A police officer runs into the apartment and tells Kitty and Jimmie that the Duke is wanted all over Europe for forgery and the Duke is arrested. Michael walks in to the apartment and tells Jimmie that Kitty is no good and Mother Maguire gets offended and says Kitty is just as good as Jimmie. As Michael is dragging Jimmie away he runs into Uncle Barney and Pat Maguire who recognize him and they shake hands. Kitty admits to Jimmie that she isn't Gloria and Michael finally okays her and Jimmie's marriage.
