What a wealthy man leave the bulk of his estate to a young woman if there wasn't something going on? That's the question that arises when country girl Jinx Falkenburg, coming to New York to break into show business, find that someone she was kind to has left his fortune. Cheap signs to believe in total honesty, and what is she accused of? Being the stereotypical opportunistic female, even though she speaks plainly and without pretention. Richard Lane, as the man she was kind to, is a complete misogynist, married to the real gold digger (Trudy Marshall), he leaves a single dollar to. Of course begins an investigation into Falkenburg, with Marshall having a detective following her around to get the dirt on her. Lane's attorney, Forrest Tucker, takes a different approach, and begins to escort her around New York. Tucker intends to prove that her attitude is all an act, but she unintentionally proves him wrong.
Joe Besser of "The Three Stooges" provides the comic relief, and he'll either make you groan with eye rolls or grunt with laughter. That adorable little old lady, Ida Moore, is one of the gossipy women, and even in a bit part is unforgettable. This B comedy with songs is above average and gives Falkenburg a juicy part to sink her teeth and singing voice into. Tucker shows his versatility in a far different role than audiences are used to him playing. This is one of the better Columbia programmers that deserves to be rediscovered.
