Christmas in July

If you can't sleep at night, it isn't the coffee - it's the bunk!

70%(92)IMDbComedyRomance

An office clerk loves entering contests in the hopes of someday winning a fortune and marrying the girl he loves. His latest attempt is the Maxford House Coffee Slogan Contest. As a joke, some of his co-workers put together a fake telegram which says that he won the $25,000 grand prize.
