Komedie, USA, 1938, 61 min.



Although he is a loyal employee, Adam Tripp's boss, Homer Carslake, suspects he will steal the company's most valuable account, the Park Avenue Bakers, when he marries into the family. On the day of Adam's wedding, Carslake concocts a scheme to blacken Adam's name with his in-laws. Carslake orders his employees, Bill Stewart and McGill, to hire blonde actress Gypsy McCoy, who is married to the burly "Doc" McCoy, for a "badger" game. In the middle of the wedding reception, Stewart wisks Adam away to his apartment, convincing him his bride Anne will be joining him there for a private honeymoon away from Anne's overbearing aunt Elizabeth. Adam obliges unsuspectingly and is surprised to find Gypsy waiting for him. Doc then arrives to make sure Gypsy's flirtatious histrionics don't go too far, and is about to beat up Adam when he and Gypsy escape in a cab. The cabbie, however, is an eccentric aspiring singer. When he fails to hit a certain note, he decides to throw himself, cab and all, in the river. Adam and Gypsy escape, but everyone assumes them dead. The next morning, Adam arrives at the Baker home and is followed by Doc, who is about to kill him for sleeping with Gypsy. When Adam fabricates a story about being with his blonde friend Reggie, however, Adam and Doc become friends. Gypsy arrives to pick up her purse from Adam, which contains the fifty dollars Carslake paid her, but Aunt Elizabeth throws her out. Gypsy later goes to Adam's apartment to cook him a hot meal and is found by Anne, who leaves in a huff. Gypsy then convinces Adam to fight for Anne, after which Doc enters to make up with Gypsy and reveals Carslake's scheme. Doc encourages Adam to show Carslake some muscle. Meanwhile, Carslake, believing Adam dead, is planning to skip town. Adam goes to the police, however, and transforms his shy personality into an assertive one by ordering Carslake to sign an affidavit certifying that he was completely responsible for the wedding night fiasco. After the police enter and intimidate Carslake into signing the affidavit, Carslake fires Adam. Adam goes to the Bakers' and, catching Anne and Aunt Elizabeth leaving for a trip, hands Aunt Elizabeth the affidavit and insists he and Anne take the Bakers' chartered plane to their honeymoon. When the plane takes off, Adam discovers that the pilot is the mad taxi driver. The driver sings a scale and Adam joins in.
