Kicking the Moon Around is a 1938 British musical comedy film directed by Walter Forde and starring Bert Ambrose, Evelyn Dall and Harry Richman.
Millionaire Bobbie Hawkes is engaged to Flo, a singer and aspiring actress who hopes to move to Hollywood.
In an effort to discover whether she is a gold digger, Bobbie pretends to have lost his fortune on the stock market and she ends their engagement.
A jealous Flo sabotages Pepper's audition with popular bandleader Bert Ambrose and tricks her into signing a contract with the store owner, Mr. Stoker.
Undeterred, Flo ruins Pepper's debut performance by painting Bobbie as a villain and plying her with alcohol; in the ensuing chaos, everyone in the club is arrested and brought before a magistrate.
