The story of what happens to a popular druggist, contented in his long-established business, when he surrenders to his wife’s pleas, re- tires and tries to learn how to play, “Handy Andy” brings Will from his small-town home to New Orleans for the Mardi Gras, where the| shenanigans ensue. | An engaging romantic addition to| the general hilarity is the love be. tween Robert Taylor and Will’ daughter, Mary Carlisle, which find its chief obstacles in the social pre-| tensions of Wilk's wife, Peggy Wood.
