The story as usual deals with a "Raket" this time "pouluy pro- tection" and a racketeer who falls for a girl of his bygone school days...

The sketches and revues which appear are novel to say the least while the songs rendered by Russ Columbo and Miss Cummings are delightful
There is no fault to be found with most of the acting, although one will be included to think that Paul Kelly does not fit in with an ideal conception of the "racket- teer."
