Synopsis
Tom, who has written a musical show for his sweetheart, Nanette, is unable to find a producer who will star Nanette. After weeks of searching, she persuades James Smith, a millionaire Bible publisher and former friend of her father's, to back the show, though without the consent of Smith's stingy, old-fashioned spouse. In his desire to help, Smith pays the bills of two chorus girls; but Early, their manager, fails to give them the money; his suspicious wife, Lucille, notifies Mrs. Smith, who hires detectives to watch him. Smith goes to Atlantic City for the show, followed by Early and the wives, who take a liking to Nanette. Complications ensue when they meet the chorus girls, but the men claim to be amateur talent scouts and are forgiven when the receipts come in.
