Synopsis
Alison Murchinson, fat, straight-haired, bespectacled is the last sort of girl one would visualise as a heroine, but Uncle Frank decides to make her one by entering her a a prospective candidate for a Wedding of the Year Competition - selecting a designer to create her a wedding dress even before he has found her a suitable husband. His eye falls on Walter Thornton's son, Melvyn, a frustrated inventor and appallingly clumsy young man.
