King for a Day (1934)






























Starring:
Bill refused a job in a show that is rehearsing, shoot dice with the producer — using two buckets the latter gave him. After the production opens and is going great, the ex-owner comes around looking for a handout, and in turn, he rolls them with Bill until he gets his show back. In between these incidents are some dancing and singing specialties.
