This energetic slapstick comedy of errors was so popular that the studio followed it with an entire series of films based on the misadventures of its main character, fiery Latin American entertainer Carmelita (Lupe Velez). The recent marriage between Carmelita and stuffy but likeable American businessman Dennis is threatened by the interference of Dennis' wealthy, snobbish Aunt Della. Fortunately, Carmelita finds an ally in Dennis' easygoing Uncle Matt (Leon Errol), who bears a surprising resemblance to a British lord and whiskey magnate, leading to a series of gut-busting complications, including a climactic pie fight.
