Guy Robertson stars as a leader of a women's dance troop on their way to Paris to perform. However, on their way their by ship, he receives word that the trip was canceled--and he's stuck with no money to get them home. But, when he meets Franklin Pangborn, who has a worthless contract to work for the king of a tiny bankrupt kingdom, they switch---and Roberton goes to be the King's assistant and Pangborn takes the ladies (that's a first for Pangborn). However, there is a twist--on the boat Robertson met the King's daughter and the two have fallen in love--and have no idea who the other one actually is. There's much more to it than this and at times it is reminiscent of the Marx Brothers' film "Duck Soup"--though not as funny original (I am pretty sure "King Kelly" was inspired by the Marx's film).
Other than a few songs too many, this is a very entertaining movie. I loved some of the supporting characters (especially the King). I also just found it charming and fun. This is a huge surprise considering it was made by Monogram Studios--a studio specializing in low-budget and often third-rate films. But here, they've done good job despite mostly no-name actors (other than familiar support character actors Edgar Kennedy and Pangborn). Well worth seeing and cute.
