A Mercury variety broadcast built around a political satire imagining Ann Sothern in national office. The comedy ranges across campaign ideas, currency, the White House, government agencies, taxes and other wartime political topics, mixed with music and sponsor material. The show later shifts into dramatic performance, including a Romeo and Juliet sequence, rather than following a single continuous fictional plot.
