This offbeat musical was certainly a departure for director Lewis Milestone, featuring rhyming dialogue and an excellent score by Rodgers and Hart. The film stars Al Jolson as Bumper, mayor of the hobos, a man who would rather sleep in the park than get a job. But after he saves the real mayor's amnesiac girlfriend June (Madge Evans) when she tries to drown herself, he falls in love with the woman and even contemplates the possibility of gainful employment.
