7Dear DeductibleA popular but improvident songwriter, after spending all of his royalties, agrees to marry an heiress, not because of her money, but because of her lack of money.

8Bing and MeWhere there's Hope, there's often Bing. And when Bing and Bob get together you'll invariably find pretty scenery - almost all of it female!
