Another cookie-cutter Universal minimusical, Moonlight in Hawaii
gathered together the usual suspects-Johnny Downs, Leon Errol, Jane
Frazee, Mischa Auer, Sunny O'Dea et. al.—in their usual roles. Downs
plays a young man named Pete, who shepherds a group of sightseers to
Honolulu. Pete's greatest ambition is to star on radio with his pals the
Merry Macs, and to this end he curries favor with potential sponsors
Spencer (Leon Errol) and Lawton (Richard Carle), partners in a pineapple-
juice factory. The complications begin piling up when Spencer and
Lawton have a falling out over the affections of wealthy dowager Mrs.
Floto (Marjorie Gateson), forcing Pete and his pals to play matchmaker.
Superstar-to-be Maria Montez shows up in a bit role as a hula-hula dancer.
