Danny Kaye must be married by midnight or according to family tradition, he will go dippy dappy daffy. He doesn't care how old his bride is so long as she's young, nor how poor she is if she is rich, nor how ugly, so long she is beautiful. Somehow the man running the lonely-hearts bureau has trouble meeting these specifications.
Kaye is still in his raw phase, doing his Catskills Russian shtick, high-speed babbling that would soon be applied to song. This short from Educational Pictures is fast and furious, and pretty funny in an old-fashioned, heartless manner. Knowing what Kaye would become in terms of performance, you can see how he got from here to there.
