George Raft plays Joe Anton, an ex-boxer who is now a popular speakeasy owner. But Joe isn't your typical hood; he is trying to improve himself by taking etiquette lessons from Mrs. Jellyman (Alison Skipworth) who is teaching him the proper way to speak and act.
Joe becomes intrigued by Miss Healy (Constance Cummings), a socialite who patronizes his club night after night and just sits by herself. Eventually he has the nerve to talk to her and falls for her. He gets Miss Jellyman to step up his lessons so he can impress this high class woman. Trouble starts to brew when Joe's current girlfriend (Wynne Gibson) and a very old flame (Mae West, in her very first role) each show up and start trouble.
