Dr. Kevin G. Maguire (Cecil Kellaway) and his daughter, Kathleen (June Allyson), work at the local zoo as the superintendent and tour guide, respectively. As such, they believe that all animals should be treated with kindness, which conflicts with the views of a powerful and crooked political boss (Ray Collins). When the boss has Maguire fired due to this difference, Kathleen springs into action by contacting an attorney and mayoral hopeful (Dick Powell) for help in saving her father's job.

Audience Member the seemingly silly romantic comedies of the late 40s and early 50s compare very favorably with any romcom today. this film has a charm to it, despite the obvious flaws, that one would like to see in present-day films. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Trite and silly film is a pastiche of many other better films. June who is usually so winning on screen is obnoxious here.
