Reckless playboy Larry O'Brien (Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.) gets kicked out of a South American country. He sees Diane Forsythe (Loretta Young) and follows her back into the country where he crashes the gate and gets arrested. It turns out that she is being forced to marry a corrupt official to save her stepfather Areal Pacheco (Henry Kolker). Luigi (Boris Karloff) is Pancheco's butler and henchman.
This is a pre-Code rom-com. These are two good looking stars. I like Larry's introduction. Diane should be a bit more sad and tentative. She is being shipped off into uncertainty after all. I would structure their meeting differently. As it stands, the premise needs a lot of work. I still like this couple. I just don't like the situation in this situation comedy.
