After lawyer Hector Owen is unceremoniously dragged through the side door of a giant department store, he finds himself in a city of light and love, of cheerfully rowdy wickedness, and free-flowing booze. Within hours of his arrival in this wonderland, he is a full partner in the lavish store, has an unlimited expense account and three happily crazy partners, and is the object of the affections of two determinedly wanton women. And the whole glorious adventure could go on forever - as long as he does not pass back through the door that was his entry to this new fantasy world.(From the back cover)

No one has ever blended fantasy and ribaldry with the sure deftness of Thorne Smith, author of TOPPER and TOPPER TAKES A TRIP.
