Synopsis
Its predictable plot was about a film being made in Lexington, Massachusetts, reenacting the revolutionary war battle fought there. The moviemaking interrupts the nuptials of hick Elmer Whipple and Mary Hawkins , he the son of late, great dancer Jack Donegil, but raised by Mary's ex-show biz folks. Hollywood shows an interest in Mary, and everybody heads for lotus land, where Elmer's dancing makes his the big star, while Mary's career flops. Romantic complications intrude when Mary, her head swelled, temporarily shifts her attentons to drunken actor Jimmy Powell. At the end, Mary comes down to earth, reconciles with Elmer, and they return to Lexington to complete their wedding.
