Eccentric director lvan lvanski decrees that his star, April Tremaine, must have a baby to generate pubIicity for her sagging career. He conspires to hire an infant as a "stand-in" for ApriI's "newborn." The proud mother and chiId set off for Manhattan aboard the Broadway Limited, which is aIways crawling with newspaper reporters. The train is soon abuzz with rumors regarding the baby's origins and the identity of its father. But lvan's pIan is derailed, when it appears that April's baby matches the description of a kidnapped infant that is the focus of an intensive five-state police manhunt!
Academy Award winner Victor McLagIen leads a strong ensemble which incIudes Zasu Pitts, Leonid Kinskey, Dennis O'Keefe and Patsy Kelly in this zany Hal Roach produced comedy. McLagIen took home an Oscar in 1935 for his performance in John Ford's The Informer, but his unforgettable characterizations are integral to many HoIIywood classics most notably Gunga Din (1939), She Wore A YeIlow Ribbon (1949) and The Quiet Man (1952). |
