If You Could Only Cook (1935)

Directed by William A. Seiter

While relaxing on holiday, automobile mogul Jim Buchanan (Marshall) chances upon Joan Hawthorne (Arthur), who is looking for a job and wrongly assumes he is too. Following a whim, he joins her in applying as man-and-wife for a maid-and-butler position in the home of a former bootlegger. Comedy and love spring from this unlikely pairing.
