A Misfire.
27 January 2017
The plot.

As a ploy to gain publicity, a motion picture director wants his star actress to take a baby with her on a train trip.

The director's secretary asks the train's engineer, an old boyfriend, for help.

As the engineer ponders what to do, a stranger in the train station tells him that he has a baby that could be used. On board the train, the actress meets a young doctor whom she knew in school, and whom she is still in love with.

The presence of the baby causes a series of misunderstandings between them, but the real problems begin when the engineer begins to suspect that the baby may have been kidnapped.

Kookie Hal Roach Studios comedy during his waning days. Lots of familiar faces. The director, a Roach regular, went on to direct some notable features later in life -- a bunch of Sinatra flicks and Viva Knievel, among them.

The movie starts out promising but really dissolves into nothing. Needs more slapstick and humor.
