Part four Lord John and Ellen head out to John's country estate. Meanwhile, Tom has dinner with Anne - and meets her father, a propriator of a saloon. Tom learns she is fond of a Yank, who lives in Chicago. But both Tom and Anne decide to see each other again - now that the pressure is off. Also a funny scene w/ Irving and Edward Klinger (both played by Keenan Wynn). Ellen sings another song as Tom plays the piano and Lord John hangs out with the Bowens.
Part five Tom and Ellen both get stood up for the clambake at Klingers after the show. The show opens in London with a sassy song and number - a good for nothing liar. Lord John shows up for the opening and surprises Ellen. They go out for a walk and Ellen sings another song. Tom visits Anne's dad and learns her beau from Chicago never showed up.

Part six Tom walks home and is thrilled his prospects with Anne have improved. Tom does an incredible scene in a room that is set up to rotate - allowing Fred Astaire to literally dance on the ceiling. A remarkable effect, especially considering the year (1951) - but the wizardry of Fred Astaire's dancing leaves you breathless. Tom learns that Anne's beau in Chicago got married. Tom performs another song and dance number for the show. Part seven What's going to happen to Lord John and Ellen? Will To get together with Anne or will they both leave town for the next show? And what about Queen Elizabeth? - Watch the conclusion and find out!
