College student Eddie (Eddie Cantor) and his buddy Ricardo (Robert Young) are booted out of college just before graduation because of a prank. When Eddie innocently becomes involved in a bank holdup, the crooks force him to leave the country and go to Mexico, Ricardo’s homeland, and, to try to put a clever detective off the scent, Ricardo maintains that Eddie is the bullfighter Don Sebastian II (son of the famed Don Sebastian, who was killed by a bull in the ring). At the same time, Ricardo is facing difficulties in love, as her father is trying to compel his sweetheart, Anita (Ruth Hall), to marry another. Will the lovers be united? Will Eddie escape the police and find romance as well? And will he survive the bullfight to which he is committed? Fun froth, with decent songs and dance numbers (choreographed by Busby Berkeley), that never takes itself too seriously, but in the end rather slight.
Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK, but not great.
Movie 32 for 2021.
