A musical adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's famous story.  In the last gasps of a world of corsets and a United States without female suffrage, the pretty and witty Marjorie remakes her dowdy cousin Bernice in her own image and is far more successful than she imagined possible.  Bernice becomes a true challenge to Marjorie's throne of popularity when her longtime beau starts looking in the upstart's  direction.  The fight is on.  In their own small and petty way, the two force each other into the future and maturity whether they like it or not.
