In one of his earliest film efforts, Bob Hope displays the charm and comic timing that would one day make him a major star. I'm not familiar with his opposite in the picture, Dorothy Stone, and she only has a handful of credits here on IMDb. For it's meager length, the story is an energetic one, as Hope's character Peter prepares to win a bet from his buddies that he can win Lulu's (Stone) hand in marriage without revealing how rich he actually is. I thought his prospects might have been better if he hadn't introduced himself by asking her to marry him right off the bat, but it allowed the story line to have some fun with the idea. A handful of songs and some dance sequences make this an entertaining little film short, with Peter winning his bet in the end, even if it looks like he goofed by tearing up a winning race ticket.
