To be honest, there isn't much substance to this little story. Merle Oberon is "Mary Smith" who lives her life treading on eggshells lest she affect the political reputation of her father. When she manages to convince a couple of her maids to go out on a blind date, they encounter some cowboys in for the rodeo - "Stretch Willoughby" (Gary Cooper) amongst them. They fall in love, elope and now she must juggle the double lives with her new husband and her father. The two stars are clearly having a bit of fun, and they work well together - aided by a few timely scenes with Water Brennan "Sugar" but at 90 minutes the plot wears too thin, pretty quickly and it all rather runs out of steam.
