Four Wives (Warner Bros.) increases and multiplies the joys and sorrows of the four daughters (Rosemary, Priscilla, Lola Lane and Gale Page) of old Music Master Lemp (Claude Rains) in a typical U.

In between are too many rounds of blank cartridges to count, a darkly ominous commentator who punctuates a morality play about the somewhat dated evils of rum-running, bootlegging, highjacking, speakeasies and Prohibition with warnings that after all, they may happen again...
