Saloon dancer Lucy (Lucille Ball) is in trouble in Panama. She gets bailed out by oil rigger Dennis McTeague (Allan Lane). He hires her to be his housekeeper in his jungle camp. She fears the worst of his intentions but he's a gentleman. She's his housekeeper.
This story would work better if it's a bit darker. I don't know what I was expecting. I knew this isn't a comedy, at least not an I Love Lucy comedy. She needs a bit more chemistry with Allan Lane. This needs something to help it work as a romance. Their banter could be better. Lucille Ball does deliver some sly looks which would remind fans of her comedic moves. She has some of her sardonic mannerisms. This is good for her fans but not so good for non-fans.
