Synopsis: Molly (Fields), a poor struggling actress, decides to "play the part" of housekeeper for 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 butler Peabody (Gardiner), whom she later finds out 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. And as the other servants 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.
