His son, Kenneth, has the opposite problem thanks to good sense and a large inheritance bequeathed by his mother. In order to raise the cash for a housing project, B.J. enlists the help of young architect Virginia Travis to con the money out of Kenneth. At the same time Kenneth is being pursued by a pair of small-time hucksters and chaos results when they all end up in staying in B.J.'s house.

| Quotes |
Virginia Travis:
I know what you're thinking. That I'm a girl. Yes, Mr Nolan, but I've a man's courage, a man's vision, a man's attack. B.J. Nolan: Well, don't attack me. Virginia Travis: For seven years I've studied like a man, researched like a man. There's nothing feminine about my mind. Seven years ago I gave up a perfectly nice engagement with a charming, wealthy old man because I chose a practical career. I left him at the church to become an architect. Now, I'm ready and he's dead. See more » |
