Production background

The movie was directed by Hobart Henley and features an early Busby Berkeley music number, "Who's Your Little Who-Zis".

Plot

The whole film takes place in the nightclub of Happy MacDonald (Karloff). One of the more outrageous aspects of the film is that one of the people at the nightclub is a wildly stereotypical gay "queen". Although Karloff is a villain, he plays a charming man, quite unlike most of the parts he was allowed to play at the time.
