Warren William steals the show in this film as a campaign manager appearing to be just about one step beyond his critics.
It's basically the old tale of a political party nominating a dim-wit, in this case, the affable Guy Kibbee to be their candidate for governor, in the hope that they can control just about everything.
Bette Davis makes an impressive look here as the secretary of the party who gets the regulars to hire the William character since he is the man she is romantically involved with. He is stuck paying alimony to a cunning ex-wife and when she is hired to create an embarrassment for Kibbee on the eve of the election, all comic hilarity bursts out.
