Two salesmen try to market a flavored lipstick.

To help a girl keep her job, small-time salesmen Andy and Dudley talk her boss, head of a cosmetics firm, into selling their line of flavored lipsticks. They become business partners and romantic interests. After a promotional campaign on a musical variety radio program, the lipsticks are a big success. The boys accidentally misplace a bag with the company's securities, which in turn is secretly stolen by their crooked manager. Andy and Dudley, now charged with embezzlement, are on the run when they get themselves into an auto race where their company sponsors their car and their business competitor backs the rival car in the race.—WesternOne1
