 Julie and Bob take a break from their Mardi Gras revels to visit Bob s home, where he lives with his sister and their reclusive Uncle Andy. Andy mistakes Julie for his sweetheart of years before and she plays along. Seems he was a steamboat captain and when the railroads put him out of work he vowed to never leave his home again -- and he still lives in the 1870 s in his mind. Julie, Bob and Queenie entice him out to a ball and he finds life in the 20th century pleasant enough.
