The Bride Goes Wild (1948)

McGrath publishes children's book and Uncle Bump is one of their best sellers but Greg, who is Uncle Bump, drinks too much and hasn't started his next book. Martha wins a contest to illustrate the book and the first thing Greg does is getting her soused. To keep her there, Greg persuades a juvenile delinquent named Danny to play his son and show how much pressure he is under. The ploy works at first, but Greg's heart is broken by Tillie, and Martha may be the girl who makes him forget all about her.
