Jimmy Reeve takes his role as guardian very seriously—perhaps too seriously—locking up his three dazzling wards’ most treasured possessions in a safe. June’s precious pearl necklace? Locked away. Frankie’s oh-so-private diary? Also confiscated and secured. But there’s one small problem—Frankie’s diary is a ticking time bomb of scandalous secrets, and she needs it back.
Enter Peter Thurston, a dashing aviator with questionable burglary skills. Frankie ropes him into a daring heist, but instead of reclaiming the diary, Peter—who clearly missed the “thief-in-training” handbook—accidentally snags June’s pearls instead. Chaos erupts, sending everyone on a wild, laugh-out-loud chase to the Atlantic City pier.
And just to keep things interesting, two utterly incompetent burglars, Herbert and Dugsie, also have their eyes on the safe. Their partnership takes a hilarious nosedive when Herbert, in a moment of criminal hesitation, realizes he forgot to get a shooting license and therefore cannot legally shoot his partner-in-crime.
With mistaken identities, slapstick blunders, and romance in the air, Funny Face is a rollicking adventure where love, larceny, and laughter collide in the most delightful way!
