Had this film been a drama, it would have really succeeded by the terrific plot. A peace activist, believed assassinated by the Nazis, is really alive and hiding out in Switzerland.
Instead, this becomes a comedy with Ray Milland and Bob Cummings starring as two journalists hot on the case in Switzerland, who vie for the affection of Sonja Henie, unknown to them that the activist is her father.
Each guy tries to out snoop the other in getting the story out to their respective newspapers.
Henie again proves that she can skate, and only at the end, when the gestapo learns of the whereabouts of the activist, does the film turn serious.
