American-born London caricaturist Robert Montgomery fall in love with Madge Evans at first sight, but she's engaged to Lord Ralph Forbes. Meanwhile, his father Frank Morgan, a Shakespearean actor who has worked in decades falls in love with Billie Burke. She turns out to be Miss Evans' aunt. Her obnoxious sister, Cora Witherspoon puts the kibosh ont he wedding. Miss Witherspoon, husband, and child are so obnoxious that Montgomery lampoons them in a satire magazine.
Never before have I seen Robert Montgomery do such a close imitation of Robert Young as the movie goes through its various perambulations. Based on a Wodehouse story, it winds up being far too witty and far too dull, as valet Eric Blore keeps trying to tell Montgomery about Robert Bruce and the spider. Still, the cast is full of well-remembered performers, including Robert Benchley, Aileen Pringle, Grant Withers, E. E. Clive, Billy Bevan, and Dennis Morgan.
