Synopsis
With large confidence and an even larger hat, cattleman Calvin Jones (rubber-faced comic Joe E.Brown) rolls along the lighted cow path of Broadway. He has $20,000 to invest in a show, intending to skedaddle back to Texas with his profits. Faster than you can say flopperoo, the producers of the show Calvin bankrolls button it up and keep the dough. Now add mobsters eager to extort some cash and romance with a perky secretary (Ginger Rogers), and it's clear Calvin's got some wrangling to do before he's back in those wide-open spaces. George S. Kaufman's fish-out-of-water stage farce The Butter and Egg Man (Richard Carle shares an on-screen story credit) hits town as The Tenderfoot. Yeeee-haw, Manhattan!
