Juvenile nonsense about three girls who travel from Switzerland to NYC to "save" their father from a money-grubbing woman and reunite him with their mother. Deanna Durbin, in her feature film debut as Universal's new "discovery", leads the pack of mischief makers who hire an alcoholic Hungarian count to romance dad's fiance, though he is replaced by a game Ray Milland at the last second. The girls pout and cry whenever they don't get their way and Deanna bursts into operatic song at every opportunity, including in a police station when she runs away to get attention. Desperate.
