A fast, fun, twenty-four hour, gaslight adventure. 1872. When virginal Jenny Crispin is dumped at the altar by a chauvinistic cad, she does what any other modern Victorian girl would do-ditch her corset, move to New York City, and join Glorianna Talmadge's free love presidential campaign. But free love and women presidential candidates aren't particularly popular with the powers that be, and Jenny finds herself chased by a sadistic vice detective through the back alleys of New York. Homeless and penniless, she seeks out the one person in the city with the guts and knowledge to save her: a brothel hopping, virgin fearing, explosives expert named Britt Salter. Too bad he's tied up trying to assassinate the visiting King of Egypt.
