Unfortunately, there is a case of mistaken identity and the bumbling recording studio owner (Tim Ryan) instead signs his dim-witted secretary (Irene Ryan).

In his penultimate feature film role, silent screen clown Harry Langdon is seen all too briefly as a perplexed recording studio manager. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, Rovi
