Aubrey Mallalieu wants to cut a deal with Mark Stone, but is shy a thousand pounds. So he offers his wife's pearls as security for the marginal sum, with a promise to redeem them after the weekend -- his wife needs the pearls back within a week. Stone gives them to wife Dorothy Boyd, who lends them to her friend, Googie Withers, who lends them to former boyfriend John Stuart... well, eventually they wind up with Annie Esmond, and the whole chain has to be unwound toute suite in a farcical fashion.
It's a Quota Quickie shot for distribution by Columbia pictures, and it's competently handled, if little more, by director H. Manning Haynes. The best scenes are those between Stuart and Miss Withers, but there's nothing wrong with anyone's performance.
