ZaSu Pitts gets a rare leading role as Emma Bates, a fluttery small-town
spinster who comes to the big city to see a prizefight and is promptly
mistaken for a notorious gun moll. The mix-up pulls her into the boxing
racket, a kidnapping, and a couple of gangland murders, and Emma turns
out to be considerably sharper than the mobsters around her. Jean
Yarbrough directs for Monogram, with Roger Pryor as a fast-talking
reporter and Warren Hymer doing his patented dumb-mug routine. A
lightweight but likeable entry in the era's run of little-old-lady
comedies. The film entered the public domain after its copyright was
not renewed.
