But when Killaine's teen daughter (Mary Carlisle) causes a fight at the new café, Mrs. Bayles might lose everything.

Audience Member Pretty sticky but May Robson does what she can with the material. Good chance to see the extremely young Fred MacMurray. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
