Synopsis by Hal Erickson
James Dunn stars as Buzz Martin, a hot-air balloon ascensionist who's plenty full of hot air himself. Hired by the owners of the bank and movie theater in a tiny Pennsylvania town, Buzz stages an aerial stunt to draw customers, succeeding primarily in making a mess of things. Undaunted, our hero heads to New York, where through an unbelievable set of circumstance he establishes himself as a merchandising genius. The "venus" who "makes trouble" for Buzz along the way is pretty Kay Horner (Patricia Ellis). By 1937, James Dunn could have done this sort of picture in his sleep -- and one suspects he did.
