Piccadilly Jim is an amiable comedy with an ample supply of snappy dialogue and British droll wit. It is based on the book by humorist P. G. Wodehouse and directed by Robert Z. Leonard and written by Charles Brackett. James Crocker, Sr., (Frank Morgan) and James 'Jim' Crocker, Jr., (Robert Montgomery) are father and son, affluent but working members of the elite, who accidently find themselves wooing two women in the same wealthy family. The stage actor father is seeking the affection of Eugenia Willis (Billie Burke), but her sister Nesta (Cora Witherspoon) snootily detests actors and he's rejected by the obedient socialite. At a club party the cartoonist son is introduced to Ann Chester (Madge Evans) by his friend Macon, but she rejects him for Lord Frederick Priory (Ralph Forbes). He does not realize she's a niece of Eugenia, the woman who rejected his father, and she doesn't realize that he's a newspaper cartoonist working under the name of Piccadilly Jim.
