Overview

While the family of the girl he loves seems to be in danger, Careful Harry hurls caution to the winds. Borrowing a costume from the would-be starlet next door, Harry masquerades as a gangster's moll to break up a conference between his girl's father and the hot-tempered radio tycoon from New York who would lure Father back to his old job as the writer of a weepy soap opera. Not only is the conference interrupted, but guns are drawn, a dignified neighbor is mistaken for a gangster, police are called, and after a wild chase Father's ex-boss is dragged off to the local jail. Father and Harry engage in sizzling debate, which inspires Mother to take a stand, whereupon Father and Mother tangle. But the battle that really sets the window-panes to rattling is between Father and his dictatorial ex-boss. When the smoke lifts we find the affectionate Bonfield family reunited on a better basis than ever. Father gives Harry due credit - plus an overdue bawling out. One taste of action hasn't cured Harry, but there seems to be hope for improvement.
