Chick (Douglas Fairbanks Jr.) works at Kamp Kare-Free as waiter, porter and dancing partner to wallflower female guests. Teddy (Ginger Rogers) comes there to spend the two weeks which are her annual reward for 50 weeks of drudgery as a Manhattan stenographer. They quarrel, make up, and fall in love. The incidents of their romance are pathetically meagre-dances to the music of the camp band, a brief mutual inspection of the moon, a single excursion by canoe to Eagle Rock.

...piece together an air rearmament program which will satisfy Government critics when the subject comes up in Commons this week, the loss of Adviser Lord Weir was more than compensated for.

Lord Nuffield, long at loggerheads with Lord Swinton, will place his mammoth Morris auto plant, the largest in Europe, at the Government's disposal for the mass production of airframes.
