Supreme Court Justice John Josephus Grant (Frank Morgan) slips away for a quiet duck-hunting trip and lands in a small town ruled by a corrupt mayor and a bought judge. Incognito, he watches local politicians railroad an innocent young man and decides to put the system on trial himself. A warm, Capra-flavored civics comedy built around the Wizard of Oz himself, with Richard Carlson and Jean Rogers as the young couple caught in the machine. The film is in the public domain.

A 1930 American pre-Code romantic comedy directed by Fred C. Newmeyer, starring Miriam Hopkins, Carole Lombard, and Frank Morgan. The wealthy Lenox family of Long Island is headed by Bronson (Morgan), who respects tradition — but his children are more irreverent. When son Bertie gets involved with chorus girl Alice O'Neil (Lombard) and daughter Marion (Hopkins) falls for auto mechanic Henry Morgan, the family tries to intervene to prevent their children from marrying beneath themselves. The film was written by Preston Sturges, based on the 1924 play The Best People by David Gray and Avery Hopwood. This was Miriam Hopkins' feature film debut.
