When a wealthy American industrialist dies suddenly, his rakish nephew "Jimmy" (Francis Lederer) expects to inherit a substantial chunk of his late uncle's $4m fortune. It turns out, though, that he leaves him just $1, with most of the rest going to his loyal secretary "Linda Gray" (Madeleine Carroll). She is a little upset by this arrangement but together with his old business partner "Duncan" (Charles Waldron) decides that young "Jimmy" needs a lesson in hard knocks to make him grow up - so she takes the money and he has to become her assistant on the princely sum of $75 per week. She goes off on a spending spree and "Duncan" warns "Jimmy" that he had better pursue her and try to dissuade her from running through all the money before he has a chance to contest the will. What now ensues is quite a fun cat and mouse game, with the hapless "Jimmy" being quite effectively manipulated. Misha Auer is also on entertaining form as her pursuing admirer the "Baron Rene", and the comedic elements of this rather obvious, but still amusing, love triangle all play out quite amiably in this well paced drama. It's a fine example of a solid cast with some solid writing that still manages to raise the odd smile.
