Storyline
Plot Summary |
Susan Miller works behind the girdle counter in a department store and dreams about the beautiful clothes and glamour she can never hope to have. Enter May Worthington and Warren, a pair of con artists who pose as the mother and uncle of a pretty girl in order to separate millionaires from their money. They convince Susan that she has an opportunity to fulfill all her dreams, and the trio heads for Palm Beach. Susan meets John Wheeler who says he is shopping for a sailboat. Believing that he is a millionaire, Warren and May sell him a boat that doesn't belong to them, and make off with his $15,000 life savings. Looking for greener pastures, they work themselves into the family of wealthy Tod Fenwick, who falls for Sue who is posing as "Linda Worthington". But John shows up as a guest of Fenwick and he tells "Linda", not knowing she was part of the scam, that he has a detective after the fake captain that sold him the boat. John admits that he is not a millionaire but only a $65-a-week clerk. He asks her to marry him and, over the protests of May, she accepts. Tod, who has been away, wires Linda a marriage proposal which is intercepted by Warren, who accepts on her behalf via a return wire. He intends to blackmail her into marrying Tod and then blackmail the Fenwicks into dissolving the marriage. To get John's money back to him, which she has but can't tell him, Linda enlists the aid of Colonel Prentiss who runs a gambling house, and the machines are fixed so that John wins his money back. Linda and John go to the terminal to leave, but Tod shows up and she tries to keep him away from John, who knows her as Sue.

Trivia | When Laird Cregar asks who Gene Tierney, then serving in a shop, is, Spring Byington tartly remarks, "A shop-girl, of course. Who did you think she was--Brenda Frazier?" The very glamorous and wealthy Brenda Frazier was the most famous debutante of the 1930s. See more » |

Quotes |
Susan Miller:
Say, are you really millionaires? [Warren and Maybelle burst into laughter] Warren: Why? Susan Miller: Well, there seems to be something missing. Mrs. Maybelle Worthington: Just the millions, and they can't rule you out for a technicality. Warren: You see, nature played a little trick on us: we should have been born with blue blood, so we have devoted our entire life to correcting this... biological error. Susan Miller: What do you do? If you're not, what are you? Mrs. Maybelle Worthington: Well, we're sort of an excess profits tax. To criticize us would be unamerican. Warren: We are merely bees that take a little nectar from the flowers that have so much. And you too can have some. See more » |
