Wall Street tycoon Warren William is engaged to nightclub singer June Travis, so his oldest friend from Big Bend Indiana, Gene Lockhart, comes to town with his wife Kathleen Lockhart, to be best man. But Lockhart -- Gene, not Kathleen -- is suspicious of Miss Travis, and her family, and her ex-boyfriend. He quarrels with William, then the wedding is called off.
It's an ensemble piece, but Lockhart gets a rare chance to be the de facto lead, and does a decent job in this second-feature remake of 1928 THE HOME TOWNERS. It was based on a George M. Cohan play and directed for speed by William McGann. Like many a Warner B of this period, it's adequate without being memorable.
