Synopsis
Get Nick! Big shot Steve Case knows only one man can shape up his troubled banana-republic plantation - fireball foreman Nick Butler. But Nick may be a little distracted. He's just met stranded American Lee Donley, a chanteuse who can hold her own at a card table. Especially if she's dealing.
Off-screen pals James Cagney and Pat O'Brien team for the eighth time in this snappy action comedy. In a role widely cited as putting her on the movie fan's map, Hollywood's "Oomph Girl" Ann Sheridan portrays wisecracking Lee. Now add superb support, zippy repartee, plus 950 banana trees planted over 5 backlot acres and the heat is on. "You and your 14-carat oomph," Cagney says in the film's final clinch.
