I The tuneful comedy offering co-stars Deanna with Tom Drake and William Bendix who do their full share of upholding the riotous nature of the story. The trio is brilliantly supported by Adolphe Menjou, Walter Catlett, Franklin Pangborn and William Brooks. Briefly, the story deals with Deanna's attempts to escape wealthy Menjou's advances and at the same time help Drake, a struggling lawyer, by claiming the latter is her husband.

Bendix brings about Deanna's meeting with the other two members of the triangle. Deanna has to play up to Menjou for the sake of Drake's future, and of course get caught. Finally, when it seems that the situation couldn't get much worse, Deanna makes it so by confessing her hoax. Then it is up to Bendix to try his hand at straightening everything out- which he eventually does. Hamedrosh Hagodel.
