He is still in his own living room; having spent a restless night on the couch. His best friend, Max discovers him there as a mysterious female voice from the bedroom shouts a cheerful good morning. Anatol attempts to explain his unhappy predicament: and the play flashes back to a day months earlier when, in the same room, Anatol's mistress, Helene sings to the wanderlust Anatol, "Why Go Anywhere At All." In Carlsbad, the marriage mart, Max sings "Bring Your Darling Daughter;" and Anatol, joining him there, vows "Now. I'm Ready For A Frau." Max's younger sister, Liesl, meets Anatol for the first time since she was a little girl and wishes that he were all her own. Anatol, stopping by before a gala party, reminds Lies! that when she was younger she wanted to dance with bracelets and anklets of gold. At the party the guests waltz and later after Anatol has disappeared with Mimi, a French girl. On Christmas Eve, Liesl encounters Anatol for the first time since the party at Carlsbad. She asks about Mimi and giving Anatol violets for Mimi, tells him that she would gladly change places with her. A few days later, Max prepares the last supper for Mimi and Anatol. But Anatol, discovering that Mimi has come to throw him over, invents the story that he plans to marry Liesl. Mimi leaves angrily, and Max and Anatol realise that Liesl must be proposed to before Mimi spreads the word. Liesl accepts, the family is delighted, and the marriage itself seems assured, but Liesl's happiness is in question. It is Anatol's bachelor party, and his friends taunt him about the loss of his bachelor status. Liesl, in a secret visit to Anatol's home, doubts that the marriage will ever take place. Liesl's family is pleased with Anatol, however. Anatol walks out of the party and declares he will not let Liesl down. Anatol wanders into a café where his old gypsy flame, Magda, is entertaining. Anatol tries to escape, but Magda overwhelms him and he finds it impossible to tell her of his impending marriage to Liesl. The last scene of the play finds Anatol trying to explain to Max the presence of Magda in his bedroom on his wedding day. Liesl appears and is prepared to free Anatol from his marital obigation. When she discovers Magda, however, she says she will never marry him!. Anatol, thrilled by Liesl's unsuspected fire, proposes again and they marry happily. Fay and Michael Kanin.
