Comment
A civil servant (Frederick Kerr) is sent to visit a naval ship to find ways of making savings. His spritly daughter (Jesse Matthews) joins him and ends up organising a musical show with the sailors. The plot and script are very lightweight, but KJesse Matthews at least partly makes up for that. This is an earlt Jesse matthews musical, and not her best.
