Hugh Herbert
The story, by the well-known playwrights, Robert Lord and Del- mer Daves, is a hilarious comedy tinged with a glamorous romance. It treats of a somewhat hypocri-i tical and highly eccentric multi millionaire whose chief concern in life is other people's morals, but who eventually gets drunk cough medicine and is taken for a "ride" by a gold digging chorus girl.
