After being dismissed for imitating his boss's voice on radio, former Assistant District Attorney Richard Deming witnesses a store robbery and is taken captive by the criminals. Suspected of the crime, he is sought by the police, but his sweetheart, Marie, convinced of his innocence, enlists the help of two friends, a newspaper reporter and a half-witted detective. Hoping to win the girl's favor, the two go to the gangsters' hideout, encounter a violent gang war, and accidently set off a case of police tear bombs. The police, summoned by Marie, arrive just in time to save the kidnaped attorney.

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
