Henry Haskell, the owner of a smallfarm in ruralOklahoma becomes, an overnightmillionaire whenoil is discovered on his property. He heads toNew York to fulfil a long-held ambition to see the sights. The wealthy and unworldly Henry soon attracts the attention of female fortune hunters. This only increases when his wealth and unmarried status are broadcast on aradio programme.
A. W. ofThe New York Times said, "Whatever may be one's opinion aboutLadies Man, it cannot be said that Eddie Bracken, its star, is miscast. For this singularly simple little item from Paramount, which began a stand at the Gotham on Saturday, makes full use of Mr. Bracken's cherubic appearance. As a bumpkin from Badger, Okla., who suddenly becomes an oil millionaire and comes to New York for the inevitable fling, Mr. Bracken is to the manner born. He is a reluctant Romeo—shy, gullible and frustrated. But the ensuing yarn about his involvements with a radio program and several predatory females, is corn from the bottom of the crib. The chuckles in this comedy are widely spaced and hardly keep pace with its tedium."[2]
