Eddie and his Mexican friend Ricardo are expelled from college after Ricardo put Eddie in the girl's dormitory when he was drunk. Per chance Eddie gets mixed up in a bank robbery and is forced to drive the robbers to safety. To get rid of him they force him to leave the USA for Mexico, but a cop is following him. Eddie meets Ricardo there, Ricardo helps him avoid being arrested by the cop when he introduces Eddie as the great Spanish bullfighter Don Sebastian II. The problem is, the cop is still curious and has tickets for the bullfight. Eddie's situation becomes more critical, when he tries to help Ricardo to win the girl he loves, but she's engaged to a "real" Mexican, who is, unknown to her father, involved in illegal business. While trying to avoid all this trouble, Eddie himself falls in love with his friend's girl friend's sister Rosalie, who also want to see the great Don Sebastian II to kill the bull in the arena.

| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe film is short on plot and doesn't have enough musical numbers to recover from the pathetic comedy routines. |
| User ReviewGreg WI wish more people had heard of this film. While technically crude (it was a very early talkie), For me it's funnier and smarter then the classic screwball comedies to come later on in the decade. I Caught it by accident on the box one night and it had me in absolute stitches from start to finish. Eddie Cantor is obviously like any funnyman going to be a acquired taste, But for me this is one of the funniest film's ever made, with more classic gags and situations per minute than todays so-called- comedy film's. Dated but under-rated, give it a go. |
| User ReviewMichael TEddie Cantor fights a bull and sings "What a Perfect Combination" in this funny Goldwyn musical with Busby Berkeley production numbers. |
