Summaries

Two American Legionnaires on convention in New York share adventures and rivalries in an around show biz.

The New York convention of the American Legion means more to two of its attendees than just a reunion of wartime buddies. Big Ben Wheeler (Victor McLaglen) and Chesty Webb (Brian Donlevy) bring instructions from their steel-town boss, Homer C. Bundy (Raymond Walburn), to undertake the break-up of a romance between his son Jack (Robert Kellard) and Linda Lee (Gypsy Rose Lee), a gold-digging nightclub singer. Complications arise as they break up most of New York City trying to carry out their assignment.—-Les Adams <[email protected]>
