He wins the high favor of the mOvie moguls by doing the wrong thing at the right time, climaxing his blunders by purchasing 2,000 airplanes because a glib salesman promised him one free, and then produces the wrong scenario with the wrong star only to have the critics hail it as the outstanding hit of the year. Other members of the cast include Louise Fazenda, Gregory Ratoff. Zasu Pitts.
