Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
In this British comedy, a wealthy young man desperately wants to impress his girl friend's powerful father and so convinces the gentleman to invest in a promising new product, "Socko." The only problem is that there is no product, only a catchy name. The young man's problem is solved when he encounters a flower vendor who has a surefire cure for hangovers. He uses this formula for his new product and success ensues until the flower woman's avaricious daughter tries to get her claws into him. Unfortunately for her, he is not at all interested and avoids her in favor of his true love.
