synopsis
After achieving stardom as Esmerelda in The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923), Patsy Ruth Miller developed into a first-rate comedienne. In Beautiful but Dumb, she plays a mousy secretary who couldn't attract a man if she removed all her clothes. Instead, she merely removes her glasses and-presto!--she's beating off the guys with a stick. As a further means of landing a man, the hyper-intelligent Miller pretends to be a dimwit.
