Langdon Mitchell
Yankee Ingenuity
by Jim Wise, Richard Bimonte
Synopsis
Yankee Ingenuity is set in pre Civil War New York City and satirizes the vanities and wild extravagances of the new rich while extolling the virtues of an earlier day.

An elopement attempt follows a costume ball and there all sorts of comings and goings.
