Plot
In this drama based on Rian James' novel, Douglas Fairbanks Jr. plays a sophisticated Broadway gossip columnist. He finds himself smitten with Broadway starlet Frances Dee. However, her ties to a notorious gangster, who often covers her debts, complicates things. The plot thickens when Dee's aunt murders the gangster, prompting Dee to desert Fairbanks for a producer promising her a role in his upcoming play. Despite risking everything to save her, the columnist is left in solitude, reflecting on his heartbreak. Additionally, Lee Tracy, despite having a limited role in this movie, would soon become a cinematic icon as the epitome of the sharp-witted, rapid-fire journalist.[1]
