    Though this is hardly original, I think that maybe the fact that there's a consistent grade of B-listers taking part just about gets it over the finish line in one piece. With "Emily" (Wendy Barrie) jilting "Prince Paul" (Rafael Storm) at the altar - with the full support of her doting and wealthy father "Baldwin" (George Barbier), she bumps into the charming "Hughes" (Kent Taylor) on the top of a bus - in full wedding regalia - and the ensuing whirlwind romance results in marriage. She tells her father only to discover that he is one of his employees. Much to the chagrin of his colleagues, "Hughes" suddenly starts to move up through the department store in which he works, but he is confident it's all based on merit. He has no idea that he's the boss's son-in-law! That state of affairs cannot continue and in fit of pique, the man leaves job and marriage to work for a competitor. The battles lines are drawn as the two stores battle to out-sale each other. It's all about brollies in the end as the rather predicable outcome hoves into view. The cast put a little entertaining effort into their characters and the writing does enough to keep this moving along making an amiable watch for an hour.
