Movie star Mavis Arden, as amorous in private as she is pure in public, gets involved with a politician despite her watchdog publicist Morgan. Planning to meet her beau again at the next stop on her personal appearance tour, Mavis is stranded at a remote rural boarding house, with a pretentious landlady, sensible old maid, rabid film fan waitress...and strapping young mechanic Bud Norton, whom to Mavis is just the plaything of an idle hour... —Rod Crawford <puffinus@u.washington.edu>

Go West Young Man review

A subdued Mae West plays against type to good effect as a spoiled actress dallying with hunky amateur engineer Randolph Scott when she's briefly stranded in his backwoods town. Warren Williams also scores as the long-suffering studio man tasked with ensuring she sticks to the term in her contract that states she mustn't wed for five years.
