Before he settled down to a long career as a jovial character actor, Lloyd Corrigan functioned as screenwriter and director on a number of Hollywood programmers. Corrigan co-directed Paramount's Along Came Youth with Norman Z. McLeod. The frothy story involves heiress Frances Dee, who balks at the wealthy marriage that her aunt is arranging. Enter Charles "Buddy" Rogers, a near-impoverished gent who takes a job as a sandwich board man. Dee assumes that Rogers is the rich man she's expected to marry, and then the fun begins.
