Formby in a dual role, impersonating an operatic tenor, and fighting the required mad bull.
"The demand for dual characterization limits the star's opportunities to be himself and he is less effective as somebody else" - Kimatograph Weekly.

Leslie Halliwell's Film Guide
An unsuccessful singer poses as a South American opera star.
Not among the star's best.

I can never accept George Formby with a moustache and a "modern" haircut. And he just doesn't look right behind that big ukulele/guitar. Enid Stamp-Taylor makes her second appearance in a Formby production.
This was George's first release for the Columbia label and it isn't a patch on the ATP productions.
