A spoiled rich girl (Ann Sheridan) tries to
elope with a ne'er-do-well, but they are stopped by a charming hobo (Craig
Reynolds), who thwarts the mismatch. The girl's father, an embattled ad
executive, rewards the hobo with temporary room and board. It turns out the
stranger is no hobo after all, but an educated young man who then comes to his
host's rescue by composing a hit advertising slogan. The girl resents the
stranger at first, but eventually she realizes she has fallen in love with him.
Ann
Sheridan is a naughty young woman again, and Craig Reynolds gives her a good
spanking.
