Papa Spencer Charters doesn't approve of milquetoast Grady Sutton as a mate for his daughter (June Brewster) so to get him into the family home, Brewster and her dizzy sister (Carol Tevis) knock out a female private investigator papa has hired and put Sutton in her dress. Looking like Charley's Aunt, Sutton becomes the object of affections for the obviously not very picky George Chandler whose father (Fred Kelsey, cast for once as a regular character, not an overly dumb cop) is a business associate of Charters'. Utilizing all sorts of contraptions to rope Sutton into matrimony, Chandler is one determined dumb dude, and in one hysterical sequence, Sutton's dress is attached to that often difficult home appliance to maneuver: the window blind. Every time Chandler tries to raise the blinds, Sutton's oh so fashionable ensemble is raised too which risks exposure. Of course, it all comes out in the end, and there will be hell to pay once Charters finds out.

This fast moving entry in the "Blondes and Redheads" series of RKO shorts is once again directed by rising director George Stevens and features the music for the song "Just Keep on Doin' What You're Doin'", sung by Wheeler and Woolsey in the same year's feature "Hips Hips Hooray!", also directed by Stevens. Effeminate men in drag can be funny as Sutton proves, and it is very ironic whose dress he ends up in. That's Hope Emerson (!) of "Caged" fame in one of her early film appearances as the private investigator, and I frankly didn't recognize her! Not as funny as "The Undi-World", it is still quite amusing.
