When British ne'er-do-well Raymond Dabney (Robert Montgomery) is released from jail, his father demands he leave the country since his accomplishments pale in comparison to those of the "good" brother Claude (Reginald Owen). But Robert instead finds employment as a butler for penniless aristocrat Crystal (Irene Purcell). Trouble is, Claude is Crystal's fiance and knows nothing about her penury. Will Raymond spill the beans? And which Dabney brother will Crystal choose? Directed by Cecil B. DeMille alumni Sam Wood, this upper crust drama acquires a sheen of Anglo authenticity because of additional dialogue contributed by British wit P.G. Wodehouse, best known for creating the aristocratic doofus Wooster and his long-suffering butler Jeeves. (Wodehouse was unimpressed with Hollywood, however, writing in a letter to a friend that a contributor of additional dialogue ranked "just above a script girl and just below the man who works the wind machine.")
