A wealthy family comes up with a scheme to get rid of a man planning to marry one of the daughters for her money. They pretend to be poor and leave all of the money in the hands of the other daughter, Gracie Allen. Obviously, this is a big mistake. Ditzy Gracie converts the Park Avenue house into a home for wayward actors. Soon the place is overrun by kooky vaudeville acts. Gracie converts the house into a theater and puts on a one night show. It's never really funny and very condescending to the poor (especially for 1935), but a drummer named Jack Powell is pretty good.
