Plot
As described in a film magazine review,[5] newspaper cub-reporter Jerry Clark substitutes for the love expert column writer Dolly Whimple and advises June Harrison not to marry Clive Hunt. Fate compels him to impersonate Dolly and he becomes a violently pursued victim in a hurtling series of events that finally transforms him into a vivacious hurse. In this role he runs against other adventures, hs several hair breadth escapes, but finally emerges from the cross-dressing mix-up triumphant, with June engaged to marry him.
