Gary Cooper is a member of the Black Watch wounded in action. While he convalesces, charwoman Beryl Mercer adopts him to compete in bulge with her friends, all of whose sons are in the army. When Cooper gets leave, he heads to London to set her straight, but finds himself playing her son.
It's based on James Barrie's THE OLD LADY SHOWS HER MEDALS, and is not, alas, a very successful effort. While well cast, this is still, so far as Paramount's West Coast division is concerned, still early days for talkies, and the dialogue proceeds at a glacial pace and Miss Mercer milks her lines for maximal sentiment.
