Plots(1)

The famed plot concerns Dolly, a young widow and professional matchmaker who sets her sights, and whatever else she can muster, on conquering tight-fisted Yonkers merchant, Horace Vandergeider. How she does it has to be the grandest, singingest, dancingest, marchingest flag-wavingest musical there ever was. (official distributor synopsis)
