Lloyd Bacon directed this gangster comedy that stars Edward G. Robinson as Remy Marco, a bootleg beer baron who decides to go straight after prohibition ends, but there is a problem: his beer is no good, tastes awful, but no one ever told him!(He never drank it himself...) Later on at a rented Summer home in Saratoga, Remy's wife Nora(played by Ruth Donnelly) throws a big party that becomes crazy when their daughter Mary (played by Jane Bryan) announces that she's engaged to a state trooper, then a gang of robbers descend on it, only they kill each other first, leaving multiple bodies in one of the upstairs rooms, where a hidden loot they stole is also kept! Amusing but slight comedy has good performances to keep it afloat.
