See page 15) STORY SYNOPSIS (Not for publication) A case of mistaken identity results in the invitation of chorine Dynamite Jackson (DORIS DAY) by the State Department to attend the Paris Festival as a representative of the American Theatre. At a big farewell party, S. Winthrop Putnam (RAY BOLGER), an assistant in the Department, arrives to tell Dynamite of the error. He gets clobbered for his pains and heads back to Washington where his boss tells him that the selection of a chorus girl as a representative has been hailed by press and public as a brilliant democratic move. Putnam rushes back to New York and the boat. On board is Philippe Fouquet (CLAUDE DAUPHIN), a French entertainer gone broke in the U. S. and working his way back as a busboy. Feeling she has been neglected by the snooty delegation, Fouquet invites Dynamite to a party for the ship’s help. Hearing of this, Putnam joins the party to bawl her out, but stays tofall in love with Dynamite as she with him. Enroute, they are “married” by a prankish busboy posing as the ship’s captain. In France, the two lovers run into Marcia (EVE MILLER), Putnam’s fiancee. Meanwhile, Fouquet unsuccessfully tries to tell them that their marriage isn’t legal, though he manages successfully to keep them separated by playing up to Dynamite. Putnam mistakes the Frenchman’s motives, and finding Dynamite in Fouquet’s home, comes out swinging. Fortunately, the Parisian produces a happy wife and five kids, as Dynamite and Putnam head for a real Justice of the Peace. Running Time: 100 Min.
