International House (1933)





Tommy Nash, in love with Carol Fortescue, always gets some disease - chickenpox, mumps or measles - just as he is about to marry her. Flying from Shanghai to WuHu, in China, Tommy meets Carol and breaks out in a rash. International House, the hotel where they are staying, is quarantined. Then Professor Quail, in his flying machine, mistakenly lands on the hotel's roof garden. 'Where am I?' he asks. 'WuHu,' is the reply. 'WuHu to you,' says the professor.
