Here’s an easy-to-direct melodrama with a laugh-a-minute pace, lively characters and as many puns as plot twists.  Adora Winsome, a lovelorn widow, is stuck with a cluttered workshop after the death of her husband, an unsuccessful inventor who left them nothing but a strange “talker box” — later to become the profitable walkie-talkie.  She and her beautiful daughter Charmaine have sent for a patent application for the apparatus, but they don’t know a thing about it.  Frankie Fixitt, the old lab assistant, lends a helping hand.  After all, he is secretly in love with Charmaine.  But what good is the patent application if the talker box is in the clutches of greedy landlord Gustav Guttermost and his flirtatious confederate, Ima Foxx?  The two villains barge in to collect the rent and steal the valuable invention while they’re at it.  Of course, their efforts are thwarted when Cashin DeVault, the dashing banker — and Adora’s old flame — arrives just in time to catch Ima and Guttermost red-handed.  Love and justice prevail, as it should be!
