George Formby works at a record company where he drops whatever he's holding when a whistle goes off. He and Polly Ward want to get married and have already bought a house and furnished it on credit. At work, ewly signed Gilbert Russell is recording "Leaning on a Lamp Post". When George is taking the soe master to the production facilities, a whistle goes off and he drops the master, shattering it. Eventually, he records a new master on his own, hoping that it will be laid to a bad recording, and redone.
There are a number of standard comedy set pieces, and George gets to ride a motor cycle. Clearly ATP -- which would become Ealing -- knew they had a star in the making, and were repeating elements from his earlier vehicles. He has good chemistry with Miss Ward; despite being a song-and-dance girl herself, she doesn't get any songs, but falls into the ingenue role, albeit one with some push to keep George moving.
George sings three songs, including "Leaning on a Lamp Post"; it would become his signature tune. Like George's earlier vehicles, this one turns out nice again.
