Description:Steve Bennett (Bob Hope) is a stockbroker. His boss' niece Gwen (Paulette Goddard) gives him $10,000 and asks him to double it for charity. Steve makes a bet with his boss, T.T. Ralston (Edward Arnold) and his associates that he can go 24 hours without telling a lie. He gets invited to Ralston's houseboat for a party and all sorts of confusion ensues with Steve telling the truth and Ralston and friends trying to force him to lie. Steve holds out and wins the bet and Gwen.

Review - Nothing But the Truth

Just silly. Most of the movie involved Steve trying to avoid answering questions—which was actually against the rules of the bet and would have lost it for him, if the movie actually made any sense.
