Joan Blondell is Dot, who meets Rick (Wallace Ford); they are hanging around Central Park in New York City, but will do anything for work. Guy Kibbee is Charlie, the almost-blind policeman, who has just one week left to retire, and we all know what that means... Dot and Rick accidentally get caught up in a robbery at a fund-raiser. meanwhile, Smiley, the crazy zookeeper has escaped from the asylum and is causing trouble at the zoo. everything happens at once! It's pretty good... the story is rather contrived, but a good snapshot of the rough and tumble 1930s. Blondell and Kibbee carry the show. Directed by John Adolfi, who did most of his work in silents, as actor and director. Worked with George and Florence Arliss, and even a couple with Bette Davis. Adolfi died quite young, just a year after making this film.
