An inventor meets a princess on a train, but, unlike everyone else, he doesn't know she is a princess. She decides to pay him a visit.
I didn't care much for the plot of this, it's one of those confusing social critiques where somehow the false nobility is extremely snob but the real nobility is not. This assumption is in itself a kind of snobbery, if you think about it. Anyway, the plot is substantially flexed (gee, what a word I came up with here) to make room to Fields' antics, which include, according to reports, the entire reproduction of his short film The Golf Specialist. And, because Fields' antics are funny, the film is funny. That much being said, I have to confess to not having understood much of the dialogue.
This is the 8th entry in critic Dale Thomajan's top ten list for 1934.
