... in a love triangle that doesn't have much love in it. Railroad tycoon (Warren William) is unhappily married and is neglected by his social climbing wife (Mary Astor). He finds some happiness in a dalliance with a chorus girl (Ginger Rogers), which the plot assures us it is platonic in nature. The overall timbre of the screenplay is a gentle, good-natured feeling, with geniality in good supply all around.
Midway through, the story takes a serious, melodramatic tone as the tycoon tries to extricate himself from blackmail and a double murder, exacerbated by the chorine's boyfriend (J.Carroll Naish). The movie is more interesting and absorbing than you would imagine, and worth every bit of my rating. At only 73 minutes it is well worth your time.
