Denny plays a wealthy young man whose one true love (Olmstead) chooses to keep her distance. To get closer to the girl, Denny takes a job as her family's butler. Complications ensue when Denny is forced to be in two places at once without exposing his harmless deception. Like most of Denny's Universal vehicles, A Cheerful Fraud brought home the box-office bacon, enabling the studio to finance such chancier projects as The Man Who Laughs. The director was William A. Seiter, Denny's favorite, who always managed to pluck something fresh from the most banal and timeworn of plot devices. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
