Le fait débute par un rappel historique. Il évoque les controverses liées au Général William Mitchell, pionnier de l'aviation militaire entre 1919 et 1936, année de sa mort. Il militait pour le développement d'une aviation ayant des bombardiers, mais sa hiérarchie croyait en la supériorité de la marine de guerre. En 1925, il fut même rétrogradé comme colonel.

La comédie et le film traitent, sur un mode burlesque, des us et coutumes des milieux du spectacle, du théâtre et du cinéma. Ole (Ole Olsen) et Chic (Chic Johnson) ont entrepris de tourner un film mais le producteur impose un coscénariste, Jeff. Ce dernier est amoureux de Kitty, future très riche héritière convoitée par Woody, un jeune homme fortuné. Parallèlement, Betty, la sœur de Chic, s'est éprise d'un prétendu aristocrate russe, un soi-disant comte qui est en fait un vrai prince russe mais se fait passer pour un aventurier. Quimby, un détective, vient se mêler aux divers quiproquos et en provoquer.

The second is a story of a young Dutch girl Glenda and her partner, an Italian Antonio. Although they are in relationship, Glenda keeps seeing other men.
