Starring Dick Powell, Ellen Drew, Ernest Truex, and Raymond Walburn

Summary (in 500 words or less):  Jimmy MacDonald enters a $25,000 contest to create the new catchphrase for Maxford House Coffee.  When his friends send him a joke telegram saying he won the contest, Jimmy goes on a spending spree that is complicated by the obvious notion that his winnings were predicated on a joke.

The RyMickey Rating: C-
