In this inoffensive little program picture, outfitted with almost continuous music and hand-me-down wisecracks, King Solomon (Edmund Lowe) operates a night club built chiefly with funds supplied by a dangerous convict. King loses his hotspot in a poker game, finds the dangerous convict unexpectedly out on parole. While attending to these difficulties, he rescues a Long Island heiress (Louise Henry) from kidnappers, loses his heart to an entertainer (Dorothy Page) and a small dog named Hamburger. The smart talk, unfortunately, is the sort that goes sour in any mouth but Mae West...
