Disfavor, as it must to all favorites, came to blunt Rex Tugwell; he was shipped off to Puerto Rico, where for the past four years he has been the island's controversial governor...

The cast is sure-fire, Ginger Rogers as a Minsky Melter gone broad A, Cary Grant in a reporter part tailored to his tongue-in-cheek virility, and a newcomer, Walter Slezak, as the type of Brownshirted bully that gestapoes himself into disfavor handily. But even these stalwarts are helpless in a plot that ambles from fantastic nonsense to the borders of poor taste...
