New York art collector Whitelaw Savory (motto 'New Art is True Art') has acquired a 3000-year-old statue of Venus (it reminds him of a girl he once loved and lost). His hairdresser, Rodney Hatch, idly slips his fiancée's ring on the statue's finger one day, and a grateful Venus comes to life. As Venus pursues Rodney around New York she can't understand why he doesn't welcome her advances, but Rodney lives in fear of Gloria, his fiancée, and in sheer terror of her mother. And Venus isn't the only one in pursuit of Rodney: so are Savory and his henchmen, who think that Rodney has stolen the priceless statue. The show lightly satirizes American suburban values, artistic fads and modern sexual attitudes (this was the show that Marlene Dietrich, of all people, turned down because she claimed it was immoral!) but it also has its deeper moments, such as the haunting ballad 'Speak Low'.
