The production was directed by Howard Bay, choreographed by Hermes Pan and produced by Michael Todd. It starred Bobby Clark and Irene Rich and also featured Bill Callahan, Kathryn Lee, Hobart Cavanaugh, Betty Jane Watson, Betty Lou Barto, Dick Dana, June Kirby and Jo Sullivan. During the run, Fran Warren replaced Watson. The production's musical director, Max Meth won a Tony Award for his work.

In 1953 (four years ahead), a woman (Lucille Thompson Wellington) is elected President of the United States. The First Husband (Waldo Wellington) gets around town quite a bit, presiding at events, receiving honorary degrees, and making a mess of protocol. The first female president's foes try to cook up a scandal by throwing women into the path of the flirty First Spouse, but they have no luck.
