In this remake of Libeled Lady, a tough newspaper editor hires a gigolo to compromise a woman suing his paper for libel.

Emmy-winner Red Skelton (TV's "The Red Skelton Show") stars in this musical romantic comedy as a love struck Broadway composer who suddenly decides to retire and marry college swim teacher, Esther Williams ("Zigfeld Follies"). Things get delightfully complicated when his greedy producer, Oscar-nominee Basil Rathbone ("The Adventures of Robin Hood," "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes"), tries to intervene. Directed by the acclaimed George Sidney ("Bye Bye Birdie," "Show Boat," "The Three Musketeers").
