And that's thanks to Corky the cute country dog that Ben Alexander brings into the big city (Manhattan) and promptly loses him because of a flirtation. The girl that he Texas shining to is Jeanette Loff, a chorus girl in a burlesque show (footage with seems to be an outtake from another movie) who happens to have a baby. Finding out that her mother (Emma Dunn) is coming to visit, good hearted Alexander pretends to be her husband. But desperate to find Alexander, Corky escapes from the person who "adopted" him and makes his way to the exact neck of the woods where Alexander and Loff reside.
Beyond preposterous but without a doubt irresistible, this film features cameos or Walk-On's by such familiar character actors as Hattie McDaniel, Franklin Pangborn and Mary Gordon. Loff and Alexander are actually sincere in their roles and don't come off as amateurish. Dunn, best known for playing Dr. Kildare's mother, is equally motherly here, and tugs at the heartstrings without abandon. Certainly it's cheap, and the prints are in major need of restoration (at one point a big white cloud looking object follows Dunn from one room into another), but that won't stop your enjoyment of it.
