Summaries

Two mayors meet at a convention and, despite their contrasting personalities and views, find themselves attracted to one other.

At a Mayor's convention in San Francisco, California, ex-longshoreman Steve Fisk meets Clarissa Standish from New England. Fisk is Mayor of Puget City, and is proud of his rough and tumble background. Standish is Mayor of Winona, Maine, and is equally proud of her education and dedication to the people who elected her. Thrown together, the two opposites attract, and their escapades during the convention get each of them in hot water back home.—Ron Kerrigan <[email protected]>

Steve (Clark Gable) and Clarissa (Loretta Young) inadvertantly get caught up in shenanigans in a series of adventures during a Mayor's convention in San Francisco, California. Frank Morgan is along to keep it light and fun. Raymond Burr tries to throw a monkey wrench into the works.—ksf-2
