So says wacky neer-do-well Robert Young, quitting his job working for irrascible Claude Gillingwater and starting his own firm, providing services to people in awkward situations who can't get out of their messes. there, he takes on client Ralph Morgan who has a daughter (Madge Evan) from a previous marriage he doesn't want his current wife to find out about. Young makes Evans his secretary to hide her from Morgan and gets them involved in a supposed kidnapping when they take on a baby that its Nanny left with a total stranger in Central Park. Young will find that he has a lot of explaining to do, to the cops, to client Morgan, aren't your fiance Betty Furness, Gillingwater's spoiled daughter who wants to get away from her father.
Young takes on the antics of the usual screwball heroine, surrounded by sensible Evans and possessive Furness, getting to be absolutely silly and filled with more cracks (wise, that is) than the entire Fifth Avenue sidewalk. He's surrounded by a wacky cast of popular character actors of the time, including Hardie Albright, Nat Pendeton and Herman Bing. The outlandish plot is completely over-the-top more bizarre twists and turns than all of the Pathways in Central Park put together. Still, there's a lot of fun to be had, and it's over in just over an hour. Young seems to be having a ton of fun. this may not be one of the great screwball comedies, but it's one that's a lot of enjoyment can be found in if you get past the absurdities.
