Molly (Fields), a poor struggling actress, decides to "play the part" of housekeeper for a wealthy former politician John Graham (Wooley). However Mr Graham is hard to get along with to the point that he has chased his wife and other servants away and alienated his son Jimmy (McDowall).Graham's only ally is the butler Peabody (Gardiner) whom she later discovers is also a former actor. Molly won't take Graham's nonsense, and teaches him about how to treat other people, and reconcile with his son. As the other servant's quit, Molly steadily replaces them with her old theater friends, so that the house soon becomes a former actor refuge! A wonderful screwball comedy, and Gracie Field's last movie appearance.
