I'm still out of sequence; this is on the same disc as Love in Bloom.

Gracie is now the lead, playing alternate-logic daughter (her normal warped persona) to a wealthy man. This is a "musical" only because she takes in a bunch of out-of-work vaudevillians, and they put on a show in her mansion. The big flaw in the logic: Gracie's father gave her control of all his money. 

Same director as 2 Marx Bros movies.
