Spoiled hard-partying socialite Kay Allyn (Ann Sheridan) is 18 and determined to elope with Jack Pierson (William Hopper) for a silly bet. Her rich advertising tycoon father John C. Allyn (Hugh O'Connell) is offering a reward to stop her. Bruce 'Butch' Baeder (Craig Reynolds) is a hobo who intends to tame her.
This is a silly screwball comedy. Butch is not considered funny for today's world. He's playing the cad, but it wouldn't fly now. This is like The Taming of the Shrew and that play has become more and more dated over the years. To be fair, this premise still worked during its time. I would still tone down Butch. It works better for the comedy.
