... starring Ann Sothern and Edmund Lowe has as its setting the fictional Hollywood studio Premier Pictures. A temperamental Swedish actress (a parody of Greta Garbo?), unhappy with the film she's shooting, storms off the set. Director Ken Lane (Edmund Lowe) is determined to find a genuine Swedish replacement, resulting in a fruitless nationwide search. Dejected, Ken tries to clear his mind by going to the carnival, where he spots Jean (Ann Sothern), selling tickets using a faux French accent. Ken convinces a skeptical Jean he can turn her into the next Swedish movie star. The American Jean is thus transformed into Sigrid Lund. Her true identity a secret, even from reactionary studio boss Max Hopper (in a parody of the mogul), played hilariously by Gregory Ratoff. The public loves Sigrid, but Ken's jealous fiancé, Gerry (Miriam Jordan), has other plans. The charming song Let's Fall in Love is performed by a crooner as well as Ann Sothern.
