The Merry Widow tells the story of Sonia of Marsovia, the lovely and seductive widow of the fabulously rich Sidor Sedova.

Since most of the wealth Sonia inherited from her late husband consists of mortgages on the Marsovian King’s palace and the Queen’s jewels, it is vital that Sonia remarry a Marsovian, not one of the many Frenchmen pursuing her.

Bungling Baron Popoff, Marsovia’s ambassador to France, attempts to make a match between Sonia and Prince Danilo, nephew of the King of Marsovia. However the Prince is jealous of Sonia’s French suitors and she, in turn, resents his dallyings with other girls.
