Righteous U. S. Supreme Court Justice Joe Grant (Frank Morgan) goes on a secret duck hunting vacation. Lucy Gilbert (Jean Rogers) is his dissatisfied clerk. He's stopped by a game inspector who offers to sell a local stamp for his state license but he expects a tip. Joe insists on going to court. There he finds honest lawyer Bill Adams (Richard Carlson) running against corrupt incumbent mayor Connison.
I've never heard of this movie. This is like a Capra movie with an angry edge. It's not as well conceived or written. There are issues with realism and problematic legal writing. Adams and Gilbert have a fun meet-cute. She has good huffiness especially when it comes to Adams. This movie is wrongheaded at times but it's correct in its heart.
