Comedy by Charles Butterworth and a couple of good songs are the highlights in "Cat and the Fiddle," sweet little romance starring Ramon Novarro and the perennially young Jeanette McDonald. Ramon and Jeanette are student musicians in Paris. Jeanette has money and Ramon has talent, which facts interfere with the smoothness of the course of true love. He wants to put over his operetta in order to make some money before he marries her. She interprets his desire as selfishness and lack of interest in her, and consequently finds herself another fiance, a gentleman who has the money and influence to enable her to pursue a musical career of her own. Ramon starts to put on his big operetta, "Cat and the Fiddle," when his leading lady walks out because Ramon resists her advances. At the last minute, Jeanette McDonald appears to play the deserted role. She realizes that she really loves Ramon, and everything ends up hotsy-totsy in a technicolor embrace.
