Jack Sheehan, well-knowi
comedian of many shows, plays
the role of the eccentric million
aire who is looking for his eighth
wife, only he wants to be sure
that the girl he marries will be a
person who is not after his bank
roll. He endows the School for
Brides" and serves as one of the
faculty, in order that he may
overlook the crop without their
knowledge.
All goes well until Helen
Twelvetrees, playing the part of
dean of women of the School
for Brides" decides that she is
the logical wife for the million
aire, and really falls in love with
the funny little eccentric.
The arrival of a phony stu

the millionaire for his money,
and a quick trip to Reno, further
complicates the plot. All of this
adds to the confusion, when the
students, played by pin-up
decide to rebel for more
money and better working con-
