When the story begins, a reporter, Bill Bennett (Allan 'Rocky' Lane), and his photographer partner, 'Candid' (Jack Carson) are pursuing another car. Why? Because the folks in the other car are a rich society woman and her boyfriend and they're rushing off to get married...and apparently this was a story back in 1938. On the way, they encounter a woman whose car has run out of gas...but in the excitement the guys forget to return with the gas can they promised her. Interestingly, she turns out to be the daughter of the judge who marries the couple.

After the wedding, the reporter talks to the nice judge (Victor Moore) and learns that he has a most unusual track record. It seems that in all the years of officiating weddings, NONE of the couples he married ever divorced! This is unusual and so Bill writes a story about the judge. Soon the judge is a celebrity and folks are pouring into this small town to get married by him.

As a result of all this, Bill later convinces the judge to run for mayor. What they don't know is that the current mayor is much more corrupt than suspected and he has a posse of hoods to guarantee his re-election. In fact, their dirty tricks are used to frame the judge for murder...and so it's up to Bill and Candid to investigate and then save the day. Additionally, Bill hopes to impress the judge's daughter...as she's cute and he's smitten with her.

This is a nice, breezy film made better by a few nice performances...particularly Victor Moore. Moore was able to extract so much from his role....and his character was sweet and likable. Overall, an enjoyable film...one that is predictable but nice and fun at the same time.
