Aggie Appleby (Wynne Gibson, Night After Night, The Crosby Case, Double Cross) is a waitress at Nick's Restaurant. She lives with Red Branahan (William Gargan, The Story of Temple Blake, Rain, Cheers for Miss Bishop; Gargan has also played fictional detectives Ellery Queen, Martin Kane, and Barrie Craig), but money is tight and Branahan gets arrested and thrown in jail. Unable to pay her rent, Aggie goes to her friend, a housecleaner named Sybby (Zasu Pitts, No, No, Nanette, Ruggles of Red Gap, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, and about a zillion others). Sybby sneaks Aggie into a room belonging to prissy Adoniram "Schlumpy" Schlump (Charles Farrell, 7th Heaven, Old Ironsides, Street Angel) Schlumpy is out of town so Aggie at least can= get some sleep. Of course, Sch=lumpy comes home early and finds Aggie, but he's taken by her story and allows her to stay (he takes the sofa). Schlumpy, despite his elevated social upbringing, is out of work; he is also in love with Evelyn (Betty Furness, Midshipman Jack, Dangerous Corner, They Wanted to Marry, later know as a spokesperson for Ge, a consumer affairs advocate, and the consumer affairs expert of NBC's Today show). Aggie is kind at heart and decides to help Schlumpy. As often happens in these films, Schlumpy falls in love with Aggie. For her part, Aggie is worried about the class difference between the two...
Is lasting love in the cards for these two? Watch the film and find out.
Directed by Mark Sandrich (The Gay Divorcee, Top Hat, Buck Benny Rides Again) and written by Humphrey Pearson (Bright Lights, Bride of the Regiment, On with the Show!) and Edward Kaufman (Hips, Hips, Hooray! Romance in Manhattan, McFadden's Flats).
Enjoy.
