Fate intervenes when Victor s new landlady, Thelma, turns out to be a rich old widow. Victor wastes no time in charming the old girl and they fall madly in love. The only thing crimping Victor s style is Betty, a sweet young nurse. Though Victor is torn between the beautiful young nurse and the beautiful old money, he can only have one. Of course there s Don, an alcoholic extortionist and Victor s best friend, who thinks it s a great idea for Victor to marry the old girl. He generously offers to help - for a piece of the action. Disaster strikes when Thelma s niece Lucy shows up. She s determined to break up the courtship - along with Victor s head. They d all better get moving, because the old lady s feeling under the weather - and there s a hurricane coming!
