Department store owner George Barbier returns from Europe to find that daughter Gracie Allen has turned the property into a bird sanctuary, while other daughter Jon Marsh has taken up with Ray Milland, and they're off to Hollywood to star in a movie. So Barbier marries Miss Allen to George Burns at $10 a mile, sends them to Hollywood, and hires a couple of gangsters to kidnap Miss Marsh back. Instead Burns & Allen take the juveniles' role in the movie.
Well, that doesn't sound good for the movies. It's an hour of Miss Allen doing her nitwit routines, which is charming, but goes on a bit too long. There are plenty of specialty acts to vary the comedy, like Veloz & Yolanda, Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians, Duke Ellington on the piano, and Larry Adler playing the harmonica. The best sequence is the one in which Miss Allen wrecks the movie.
