The beautiful Gold Digger dames are back, trying to find an angel for another Broadway show. This time the honors go to Victor Moore. His business partners are after him, and he'd rather give his money to the girls than let his partners get their hands on it. Of course, the show might make money, and then he'd be worse off than he is now! Not the best of the series, but it has its moments. More of the great Busby Berkeley staging and choreography.
