SYNOPSIS
A morale story, which lesson is that years don't spill the abilities.
Aged 65, John Hodges (Monty Wooley) has to quit his job at the Acme Printing Services because of a plan of forced retirement imposed by an affiliated company, the Consolidated Motors.
With the advice of his daughter's fiancé, Joe Elliott (David Wayne) who also works in the same company, he writes a letter to the President, a very lonely man named Cleveland.
They have a plan : Hodges usurps the President identity and orders a unexpected visit at Acme, which caused a total panic to his manager, Louis McKinley, that even his gorgeous secretary Harriet (Marilyn in her first part for her second contract with the Fox) doesn't manage to calm down.
Hodges's plan works almost too well - he makes a new policy where the retirees can keep their job as long as they want to. But Lucille (Constance Bennett), his former manager's wife, falls in love with him. Then the plan is revealed : after Hodges's speech, the company stocks increase, he is confounded and treated as a faker.
The real Cleveland (Minor Watson) and Lucille go and meet him at his home. McKinley faints when his wife tells him the dreadful mistake he has just made. Cleveland offers Hodges a very important place in the other company, but Hodges only wants to have hos former job back. Then all is well that ends well.
