Stu Erwin's uncle dies, leaving him a movie theater, a mansion, and a limousine.... no cash. He doesn't need the house until he's married, so he lends them to Clara Bow, an usher in the theater he's sweet on. She discovers that the mansion is a gambling house, and the money rolls in until the cops close it down. She has also picked up Norman Foster, and they get married. It turns out that not only does he like to gamble; he's connected with a gang.
It's a pleasant pre-code romantic comedy, with plenty of scantily clad beauties and Erwin doing his slow-talking dope. Dixie Lee and Thelma Todd are two of the ushers, and while there's nothing much in it, Miss Bow's star power made this a very popular movie in 1931. Paramount publicity had it that she had had a nervous breakdown during the shooting. It doesn't show.
