Overview

Perky young Nanette attempts to save the marriage of her uncle and aunt by untangling Uncle Jimmy from several innocent but ensnaring flirtations. Attempting one such unentanglement, Nanette enlists the help of theatrical producer Bill Trainor, who promptly falls in love with her. The same thing happens when artist Tom Gillespie is called on for help. But soon Uncle Jimmy's flirtations become too numerous, and Nanette's romances with Tom and Bill run into trouble. Will Uncle Jimmy's marriage survive, and will Nanette find happiness with Tom, Bill, or somebody else?

Roland Young steals most of this otherwise rather procedural vehicle for Anna Neagle. He is her uncle "Jimmy". He is an happy fellow, married to "Susan" (Helen Broderick) and he is also a bit of a sucker for a lost cause. It falls to the young "Nanette" (Neagle) to try and extricate him from his latest faux-pas by convincing Broadway producer "Trainor" (Victor Mature) to give a part in his latest show to "Sonya from Syracuse"...
