Claude Gillingwater fires Robert Young for making love to his daughter, so Young heads out and starts of 'Confidential Services". Among the services he provides is keeping Ralph Morgan's daughter, Madge Evans, hidden without her getting suspicious.
There's the typical MGM gloss that keeps this movie watchable, with lots of interesting character actors like Herman Bing, Paul Hurst, Shirley Ross, and Clyde Cook. What it lacks is a sense of fun, despite the direction of George B. Seitz. Perhaps it's because Young keeps repeating his catchphrase, "calm yourself" any time anyone becomes upset. Perhaps it's because the comedy bits, like a shoe-eating Great Dane, seem a bit too calculated. Whatever it is, it all falls a little flat.
