A kleptomaniac has a romance with a jewel thief in a traditional comedy farce. It's oddly forgettable stuff but it attempts slapstick farce and I love watching Lake do her thing in a a new setting and she certainly tried her hand at anything the studio threw at her. Paramount seemed determined to make sure her vehicles were as ill suited as possible but every time she showed up and played the part to a degree that made it watchable. Eddie flays around but it's Lake that steals the scenes and has fun with the material.
The tone veers from gangster drama to comic misunderstandings where people do and say some really strange things for the sake of attempts at something to laugh at, it's not all successful but the plot keeps moving and constantly changing with varied gags and silliness. Lake gets an odd role as a cold thief but switches to charming when she needs to get around her mark but at other times she seems genuinely nice (thief with a heart of gold?) it's a mixed bag but enjoyable enough.
