The era of the bootlegger is past but liquor runner Bugs Ahearn (Edward G. Robinson) has a plan for what he'll do now that Prohibition is history. He decides to head for California's posh, polo-playing Santa Barbara to become part of the high society. What he finds there -- swindlers, gold diggers, great fun -- makes first class entertainment in this pre-Code gem.
