Virginia Vincent Folsum, better known as Ginger, is a very elegant lady. An accomplished pianist, socially active and what style! You are what you wear is her motto. But Ginger s greatest passion is her pet pig, Petunia, whom she pampers endlessly. When Ginger is called out of town for a performance, Petunia is left on her own. Donning Ginger s stunning gowns, Petunia poses as Ginger and conducts business as usual, with no one the wiser. Hilarity ensues as Petunia becomes the toast of the town, proving Ginger s motto that you really are what you wear.
