Good Son-in-Law
Overview: Asahi Shoji's office girl, Aiko Tatebayashi, is a modern girl of Akira herself. The dentist's father has already cleared up his eldest daughter Keiko to Mizukami, but this time Aiko's turn and her sister's wedding greeting card are handy to add a request for the color of her sister's son. However, Aiko, who wants to be herself, uses the help of her friend, private detective Nobuko Migishi, to break through the behavior of the matchmaker, Mrs. Yamaguchi, who is a matchmaker. However, Nobuko's mistress Rokuro Kojima has become sloppy these days, so when Aiko investigated this time, it was found that the cause was Kojima's best friend Hiroshi Minamimura. Aiko was completely indignant at Minamimura's rude attitude of saying what she thought. In the mouth of Mrs. Yamaguchi's match, Mr. Fumio Kaki, the sales manager, is the best candidate.

Tipsy Life
Overview: The film generally regarded as Japan’s first true musical was also the first film made entirely in-house by the pioneering studio P.C.L., a company founded specifically to take advantage of emergent sound technology. P.C.L. worked in collaboration with a brewer’s firm, Dai Nihon Biru, who met the production costs of the film in full, and whose products are featured in the film in an example of the sophisticated and modern merchandising typical of the studio’s early work. The film is partially set in a beer hall, and its story concerns a beer seller at a train station and her relationship with a music student trying to create a hit song. Director Sotoji Kimura was to become a company stalwart, making such films as Ino and Mon, while actress Sachiko Chiba would emerge the studio’s first real star, appearing in such films as Wife Be Like a Rose.
