Colleen Moore plays a poor girl who longs to marry a rich man, then eventually gets the chance to do so after the complications from a case of mistaken identity are ironed out in this comedy feature. There's not too much story here, really, and what there is consists of a fairly tired plot involving a millionaire and his valet switching places for a day. The value is provided by the ever-charming star in Colleen Moore, who has unequaled panache in making her way through whatever scene she is in or in any of various bits of business that she gets to do.
It's lucky for this film that the protagonist is played by someone with the adorable screen presence of Moore, since many others would probably have had trouble bringing much likability to a character who main revealed quality at the start is that she is money-hungry. Of course, this is reversed by the end of the film.
Despite the unoriginal and sometimes unbelievable (if this man is supposed to be such a famous millionaire, why do no photographs of him seem to exist in the world?), there is also a charming frivolous quality to the film, with plenty of witty and self-consciously silly title cards, that imparts the feeling that everyone knew they were making something of a cookie-cutter film and decided to have fun with it. That and the char,m of the star raise this up from being something forgettable into quite fun viewing.
