The picture stars Spencer Tracy, Pat Paterson, John Boles and Herbert Mundin, and features Thelma Todd in a supporting role.

At the premiere of Judith Marlowe's new film, Smoothie meets Wanda, an aspiring actress, Hal, a singing newspaper agent, and Limey, an impoverished Englishman and forger.

Limey, as "Lord Brocklehurst", and Wanda arrive by train, with Smoothie as their personal assistant, and Hal as "Reggie Morris", a singer; they are met by reporters.

The actress from the premiere visits and invites them to a large Hollywood party, where they flirt and mingle, making contacts and trying to find work.

He mails him a letter, saying that Hal Reed took an important man's daughter, a minor, to his apartment the night of the party, and that the press does not know.

Director Lane Worthing is alarmed at Wolf's hand being forced, and says that the studio should investigate, in case this is a criminal gang.

Smoothie tells Wolf that Limey always denied being Lord Brocklehurst, and that neither contract could be terminated, for both Wanda and Reggie signed them under their own names.

Wolf denies this, but discovers that additional clauses were added to each contract in his handwriting (possibly forged by Limey, but unprovable).

When Judith finds out, she threatens Wanda and Limey, telling her that the only reason Hal has hung around is because she is "Lord Brocklehurst's daughter".

Smoothie returns to Wanda to tell her the good news, and that he is leaving for San Francisco, asking for a kiss goodbye.

It received a favorable review from The New York Times critic Mordaunt Hall, who called it "a neat, carefree piece of work, which is helped greatly by Spencer Tracy, Pat Paterson, an English actress who here makes her American picture bow; Herbert Mundin, Harry Green, and, to a lesser extent, by John Boles", and noted that it "has its full share of honest humor and also several tuneful songs".
