Plot: Three movie genres of the 1930s are satirized in this spoof of the traditional double feature. In "Dynamite Hands" a delivery boy turns prizefighter in order to raise enough money for his kid sister's eye operation. Later, however, he turns his back on his father-figure manager and librarian girlfriend when he is distracted by a flashy gangster and sexy night club diva. Intermission has a coming-attractions trailer for "Zero Hour," a World War I aviation drama. In the second feature, "Baxter's Beauties of 1933" a Broadway impresario hears he has only a month to live and is determined to mount one more hit on the boards. When his drunken diva of a star cannot go on opening night, he finds that the ingénue he chooses to replace her is his long-estranged daughter, whom he has not seen since she was a girl. All three stories feature the same cast in repertoire.

Doctor: Spats, it may not show up on the x-ray, but your heart is pure silk too.

Joey Popchik: Fightin's for suckers. I'm goin' to night school to be a lawyer. These hands are for readin' books.

Joey Popchik: You know what they charge for an eye? An arm and a leg.

Hood: Here we are in the country, Mr. Marlow.

Angie Popchik: I can see with one eye tied behind my back!

Joey Popchik: Funny, isn't it? How many times your guts can get a slap in the face.

Joey Popchik: I'm fightin' in the Garden tomorrow night.::Gloves Malloy: I heard it in the papers.
