Newly-wed Carole Landis (Helene) starts off this film holding up a gangster and calling the police to come and arrest him. Unfortunately, they don't believe her and are fed up with her and her husband George Murphy (Jake) along with lawyer buddy Pat O'Brien (Michael) who seem to be interfering in police matters and trying to do their own detective work to solve crimes. They are then thrown into a plot involving a disappearing magician which is way too complicated to follow.
We know this is a comedy from the outset but the film suffers in that it isn't really funny. Only Landis pulls it off in this department. The story is too busy and scenes drag on - we move from one scene to the next and then the nest – what on earth is going on? And none of it is funny. O'Brien looks like Bill Haley. The girl in the polka dot dress is the most memorable thing about this film.
