Everybody knows the Tournament of Roses Parade. But ever heard of the Carnival of Chrysanthemums in nearby Claremont, California?
Jinx Riley, gal Friday, is in love with her boss. He's a fast-talking conman who wears a smile as well as he wears a suit. She's a Joan Blondell-type of dame who can out-talk even him.
