THE STORY: Buying shoes is indeed a trying ordeal for light-headed, spoiled Veronica Pell. In fact, today she has brought home five pairs before making a final decision. In order to be scientific, she has promised to give the shoe salesman a complete telephone report of the state of her toes and heels as she tries on each pair. Between pairs, Veronica indulges in a bit of gossip. Out of it all comes a series of incidents that prompt her to abandon a trip abroad. Veronica in a rattle-brained conversation starts a false rumor, which ultimately prevents the divorce of two of her friends. When the fifth call is made, regarding the last pair of shoes, we feel Veronica and the shoe salesman might be headed for romance, too. A bewildered foreign Princess, who really has come to sell lace for the refugees, makes tea for herself, which is given absent-mindedly to another caller. Veronica gives the play plenty of fast action and humor.
