Joan Bennett is broke, but not so broke she'll marry Alan Dinehart. She's scrubbing her apartment for subletting, when in walks Don Ameche from South America, trying to raise a loan for $2,000,000 for rubber plantations. A conversation with society friend Helene Reynolds raises her ire Miss Reynolds says that it's not that men are only interested in her money and clothes, but they help. When Ameche assumes she's the housemaid, she decides to seduce him,
This looks like it was produced in a hurry, since Ameche loses his accent after a couple of minutes. Instead, the movie is taken up with jokes about rationing, and a sequence in which Ameche winds up wearing Miss Bennett's father's formal suit. Billie Burke is on hand to play one of her delightful featherbrains, and among the ladies, you can spot Dale Evans, Janis Carter, and Vivian Blaine. The rationing jokes haven't aged particularly well, but this romantic comedy proceeds on its inevitable three-act course with some smiles along the way.
