Review by boblipton

Jack Oakie is a construction worker from midstate New York who inherits some money and decides to take a first-class voyage to Europe. His pals send telegrams and gifts that convince everyone on board he is actually a bigwig engineer. When brunette Ginger Rogers meets him, she thinks him the answer to her problem. She is convinced her guardian, Granville Bates, has stopped work on her mine in Macedonia so he can swindle her out of it. It takes the love-struck Oakie most of the movie to figure out why everyone keeps wanting to ask him engineering questions.

Because it's only Rogers' second feature, she's basically in starlet mode, speaking (and singing in her duet with Oakie) in a baby-doll voice. Oakie is only slightly blustery in this movie. He's more of a light comedian here, and pleasant enough, but the movie, while amusing, never rises out of programmer status. Still, the leads, as well as support George Barbier and Greek Chorus Betty Starbuck and Verree Teasdale keep things moving along.
