Just a little ceremic elephant

A big pachyderm gets involved here thanks to Lupe Velez, but the elephant in question is a ceramic elephant which on the inside is a most valuable jewel that Lyle Talbot and Marion martin are trying to smuggle into the USA. Martin puts the move on Leon Errol and slips it to him as a present pretending to the old roue they had some moments.

Now it's off the ship and the task is to get it back. Then start the usual antics of Errol in his dual role of Lord Epping and Uncle Matt Lindsay and his favorite niece-in-law Lupe Velez Walter Reed plays the confused but loving husband in this film of the series.

Best moment is Lupe bringing in a live elephant with pink polka dots to Lord Epping. It's the pachyderm he knows best.
