Joe E. Brown and William Collier, Jr. stir up trouble from coast to coast in Broadminded, a madcap pre-Code comedy written by Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby (Duck Soup).
Ordered by his father to stop carousing with women, playboy Jack Hackett (Collier) dumps his fiancee Mabel (Margaret Livingston) and motors west to California accompanied by his half-wit cousin Ossie (Brown). After rear-ending a hothead (Bela Lugosi) who drives off with their car, the boys hitch a ride with two peppy ladies, Constance (Ona Munson of Gone with the Wind) and Penny (Marjorie White), who join them at a Pasadena hotel.
When Jack proposes to Constance, his vindictive ex tracks him down, forcing Ossie to whip up a half-baked scheme to cook Mabel's goose! Surprisingly, nothing goes according to plan!
