He's supposed to be the new Earl? Fine aristocratic society is shocked because Bill Snibson doesn't fit in at all with their ranks and their idea of a British gentleman. The young man from the working-class district of Lambeth in London is the son of an Earl's improper marriage, whose title he is now to inherit unexpectedly - but only on condition that he proves himself "worthy and fit". The deceased's sister, the Duchess of Dene, takes care of him and tries to make a perfect gentleman out of him. While Bill's girlfriend Sally is sent off to the village inn, Lady Jacqueline Carstone does everything she can to win the heir and thus the title for herself. On the day of the decision, Bill surprises everyone with an appearance as a flawless gentleman. But when Sally suddenly turns up with friends from Lambeth, Bill is torn between his old life and his new wealth. Which will he choose?

The musical by Noel Gay was the most successful British musical in the 1930s and was filmed in 1939 under the title "The Lambeth Walk", which also enjoyed great popularity. As a male version of "My Fair Lady", the story enchants with plenty of wit and catchy tunes, but also with a humorously biting critique of fine English society and its idiosyncrasies.
