Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Hard-drinking Larry MacArthur, editor of a sophisticated magazine, is taken to the Agua Caliente resort by his publisher, Harold Brandon, in order to dry out and sober up. Larry becomes interested in Rita Gomez without knowing she is a famous Spanish dancer about whom he had once written a vicious review regarding her talents. Her conniving uncle, Jose Gomez, quickly tries to cash in on her charms when he notes Larry's interest. Rita agrees to flirt and keep him in Caliente for revenge. However they fall in love but their romance is menaced by Miss Clara Thorne, a blonde gold-digger who has staked out her own claim on Larry.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Filmed at the Agua Caliente Casino and Hotel in Tijuana, Mexico, which opened in 1928. Since gambling was illegal in California at the time, and Las Vegas would not start to develop until after WWII, this resort was a magnet for Hollywood celebrities. In addition to the casino, it had an 18-hole golf course, horse racing track, tennis courts, a spa (the entrance of which can be seen several times in this film), and even its own airport. A few months after filming wrapped there in 1935, the president of Mexico outlawed gambling and the resort closed. The only remaining part of the complex is the racetrack, but its original opulent grandstand burned down in 1971 and was replaced by a more modest structure. It converted to greyhound dog racing in 1992. See more » |
| Goofs | The flight from New York to Caliente is graphically depicted as a single, direct flight. In reality, there would have been at least two stops along the way. Nonstop transcontinental passenger service did not begin until after WWII. See more » |
