When the story begins, Lucky Downing (Wayne Morris) is recruited to pose as a young lady's fiancé for one month...for $1000!! This seems too good to be true...and this is EXACTLY the case. This is because the lady (Alexis Smith) has had terrible luck with fiances...as each prior one has met with death or was severely injured! But Lucky doesn't know this and only learns about it AFTER the bodies start piling up! So will he stick with it or hightail it out of there? Well, his nickname isn't Brains...so you can only assume he's there for the duration!
This movie is very similar in style to films such as "The Ghost Breakers" which, incidentally, ALSO featured Willie Best as the leading man's valet. This isn't surprising since Best's shtick was playing the old stereotypical scared black man, though such stereotypes are no doubt offensive today.
Overall, despite its shortcomings, this is an entertaining film which will hold your interest.
