Four years ago this summer Franklin D. Roosevelt's constant confidant and companion was Columbia University's Professor Raymond Moley. Citizens who then saw their next President for the first time saw almost as often the sharp, shrewd features of "Ray" Moley, got the definite impression that most of the facts and theories which Nominee Roosevelt was expounding on the stump originated in the teeming Moley mind. On March 4, 1933 Dr. Moley went to Washington as Assistant Secretary of State, No. 1 Brain Truster and one of the new President's most potent and intimate advisers...
Turning to the brawny onetime preacher who had been his constant companion and counselor for weeks, the old man generously declared: "I'd like to see it go to some young man, like Gerald Smith...

...very lovely Madeleine Carroll play the romantic leads in a story which surges through a series of thrilling escapades all kept in the lighter vein by a steady flow of genuinely amusing dialogue. Probably the last chance to see a definitely out of the ordinary picture.
