All eyes should be on the bride on the wedding day, or so society tells us, but in the case of dentist Robertson Hare, a last minute appointment before son Billy Milton's wedding threatens to call the whole thing off. A mysterious woman shows up for an exam and out of the blue starts screaming and accuses Hare of trying to molest her. He escapes from the police, hides out at his son's apartment while bride to be June Clyde deals with Wagnerian mother Ruth Maitland who proclaims that "all men are beasts" upon learning about the incident without finding out all the facts.
I wasn't crazy about the false accusation plot development to get the story rolling, but you've got to have a conflict. Hare ends up in drag (looking like a very tired Bea Lillie), is helped out by the bride's father (Alfred Drayton), and all sorts of other farcical antics occur. Fortunately, this one's only an hour, and at least the cast (especially Hare) has great energy. It's just far too unbelievable and forced, like a two part sitcom episode. Good art direction though, perfect for the stage play this obviously came from.
