Indiana Jones is late for a Broadway show and begins to recount his own experiences working backstage at George White's Scandals in 1920 to his disgruntled female cabdriver. Indy managed to woo no less than three girls in as many days: singer Peggy, poet Kate and socialite Gloria. Arriving at the theater, Old Indy has no time to finish his account to the cabbie and instead picks up the story in the course of lecturing a theatre critic about the hardships of the little people struggling to put on their show. 

Old Indy snatches a parking place from under the noses of two squabbling commuters, then begins to lecture them about something he learned while in the Italian Alps during the Great War. While working as a spy to get Austrian deserters safely to the allies side, Indy was wooing an Italian beauty named Guiletta in his spare time. However, another man was competing with him for the girl's affections. So, together with ambulance driver Ernest Hemingway, Indy planned to crush the competition by smothering Guiletta with presents and compliments.
