Cora and Matt Upshaw are an elderly Kansas couple with new money trying to buy their way into New York society. Harley Marsh is going broke under Augie's bad money management. Augie comes up with an idea to squeeze money from the Upshaws by selling the family's paintings. Matt befriends waitress Sandy and later hires her to play their daughter.
It's not the most compelling romance or funny comedy. The writing is a bit messy. It's not good comedic writing, but there is a screwball lightness to it all. The money set does get some hits without being too mean-spirited. That's kind of like this movie.
