But now that he's home in London, he's getting written up in itand his family is none too pleased with the antics of ';Piccadilly Jim.' So relatives from New York arrive to bring Jim back with them across the pondand away from his father's bid for a lordship. But trouble has a way of following Piccadilly Jim, and when he meets the most beautiful girl he's ever seen, trouble takes on a whole new meaning. In a madcap plot of false identities, family schemes, and a newly invented explosive powder, Jim will manage to fall in love and maybe even grow up in the process.
