Movie actor Collier Laing is called back into the service for a special government assignment: he must romance a young debutante to draw her criminal boyfriend (who has stolen the crown jewels of a foreign country) out of hiding. A far-fetched story comes off amazingly well due to funny dialogue, many humorous situations and good performances all around. Montgomery is at his comedic best, Ann Blyth shines as the ditzy debutante and veteran actress Jane Cowl lends fine support as Collier's lawyer/mother. A fine comedy.
