Independent-minded socialite Claire Whitmore (Patricia Ellis) runs away. Her father enlists the media to find her. A reporter pursues Claire onto a train which has a vaudeville troupe with comedy team Joe Wilson (Joe E. Brown) and his wife Fay (Ann Dvorak). Claire pleads with Joe for help and joins the troupe as a chorus girl. When Joe signs up for a big gig, he is forced to take Claire over Fay for the act.
The first hurdle is the act with Joe and Fay. I actually find it charming and reminds me a little of George And Gracie. It isn't as fun with Claire, but I do get the idea of a famous person being funny just by their presence. This movie is more a showcase for Joe E. Brown's humor. A scene with the acrobats serve no other purpose. The runway scene is really insane. It can't be real especially with the real actor. It must be an in-camera effect. Sure he's doing stunts, but that one is going too far. As for the story, it's not that dramatic. Joe never seems to be the type to stray. It's the slightest of misunderstanding. It may not be dramatic, but there is some fun along the way.
