But nothing is certain: at the first ball with her future husband, Charlie shows up, wanting to persuade Prince Philip, Olympia's father, to do business with the Americans in aluminum. The sight of the princess throws Charlie off balance, and soon the two of them are dancing across the room toward the exit and into the night.
