First of all, as some one has pointed out - there isn't much of a original story here. Most of is predictable. But then how many really had a real path-breaking one, so I would not harp on that issue.
The movie story in brief is - a famous tenor is on his way to a studio for a film contract, his co-passenger is an extremely fidgety young man Piero Santellini (Bonar Colleano), on his way to meet his love, Mary Santell, Maria for him (Victoria Roc) in a station where the two trains would cross. The girl has romanced him as a rebel gesture (to her Aristocrat and Diplomat father), but she is docile enough to marry the boy he has chosen for him, unless of course Piero convinces her father that he is a better choice (she too is doubtful about that, but Piero isn't). In the intermediate station, thanks to her pikenese, who had decided to have a go on another dog, she misses her train (which now has her father and Piero), and is stranded in the station with the tenor (Nino Martini as Giulio Moris), the rescuer of her dog from its fate. Not that she is impressed with him, since she hasn't heard of him, nor does she takes to classical. But here is she, and he, without Luggage, papers or Money. They spend the night - trying to get an accommodation in Hotel (no money? the hotel is full), and finally end up in jail as vagabonds. But her rescuers are on the way, Piero, Father and fiancee, all the three, only she doesn't want to be rescued unless the other vagabond too is let off. meanwhile, a thief has noticed unattended baggage in the train, and naturally decided to have it for himself, and the baggage tag identified him as the tenor, the Crew was waiting for at the station. But before he could really make a catastrophy at the set, the actual tenor, thanks to a sympathetic Jailer, turns up, after relinquishing his guardianship of the girl to the three guardians. The end, with a twist, has to end happily, and it does.
Victoria was, as always, pleasing to the eyes, and she could act too. Nino was just OK. But the best part of the total cast was the producer of the movie, Fogliati (Charles Goldner) and Piero (Bonar Colleano). They have simply overshadowed the rest. The comedy isn't too loud, just of a lovable volume. The characters had been quite believable type, may be Piero was a bit too "Lunatic", as her father said, but there are similar characters in real life too.
Worth a watch (may be more), just for the sake of Fogliati, his lead actress, his crews of the three story writers and Piero.
