Mary Hennessey shows up at social worker Paul Colbert's rooms to tell him she has arranged for the money to send his orphans to camp for the summer. The money is going to be donated by her father, the irascible Eric Workman. He just has to show up that evening. However, three burglars break into Workman's place, and Colbert is at the wrong place at the wrong time. It's up to the old man's butler, peter Sturgess, to sort things out.

It's not a particularly fine comedy, as Sturgess plays his role in a very creepy manner; he's in love with Miss Hennessey too. Workman is okay, but a lot of time is spent showing us the orphans being cute -- usually in wild shots, doubtless because they coldn't manage any sort of timing in their line readings. If the movie is outstanding for anything, it's for William Shatner's first screen appearance, as one of the three thieves. He gets a half dozen or so brief lines.

The 20 year old Canadian made his screen debut in this forgotten project titled 'The Butler's Night Off'. There's no shades of genius in it, nor does it contain any entertainment value. It did, however, provide a vehicle for Shatner's career.
