"The Hardys Ride High," is the sixth of the famous series dealing with the popular screen family. The new picture is different in every respect from the others, but the beloved Hardys remain the same. Now they inherit $2,000,000 and move to Detroit to claim it. On the plane, their changed status first effect Aunt Milly, played by Sara Haden, and she falls for a business man who is a fellow passenger. In Detroit, overcome by sudden wealth, Andy Hardy (Mickey Rooney) steps out to a cabaret and falls desperately in love with a chorus girl (Virginia Grey). Likewise, swayed by her new position, Marian Hardy (Cecilia Parker) orders lavish gowns and charges them to Judge Hardy. Only the judge (Lewis Stone) and his wife (Fay Holden) maintain their equilibrium. Back in Carvel, Ann Rutherford, as Polly benedict accepts attention from a new young man while she awaits word from Mickey. The family is on edge, figuratively hanging over the precipice of new-found wealth, when the Judge discovers evidence to prove that he is not the legal heir.
