Synopsis by Hal Erickson
The Wrong Mr. Wright was based on a stage comedy by George Broadhurst. Jean Hersholt stars as the bumbling son of a wealthy teddy-bear manufacturer. While staying at a fancy hotel, Hersholt is wrongly suspected of stealing $10,000 by an overzealous house detective. Sexy Enid Bennett is dispatched to extract a confession from the hapless Hersholt. Instead, she falls in love with him, and together hero and heroine track down the real culprit. The film relies on Jean Hersholt's skill at mimicry and make up for its biggest "yocks."
