...dancer. Because of the unique means Petroff selects to meet his inamorata, a set of misunderstandings begins which brings into action an ocean liner, a pack of dogs, an airplane, a marriage for business reasons, an absent-minded impresario (Edward Everett Horton), an oily hotel manager (Eric Blore) and a scheming noblewoman (Ketti Gallian) before the two dancers arrive in each other's arms for good...
Edward Everett Horton and Eric Blore turn in their usual fine performances and play no small part in making this picture laugh provoking.

The picture also introduces blandly comic Eric Blore (Top Haf) and an amiable seal. Good shot: Blore & seal gazing reproachfully at Miss Pons, who has stolen the seal's breakfast fish, cooked it for her husband...
