Carole Lombard is in full dumb-blonde mode as the wife of young lawyer Fred MacMurray. He refuses to take the case of any client he knows is guilty, leading Lombard to get a day job as a personal secretary to a lecherous wealthy man. When he turns up dead, Lombard is accused of murder and MacMurray must save her from the electric chair. She gets off, but extortionist John Barrymore spoils their new-found happiness. Only the presence of Barrymore makes this tolerable, he steals every scene, Lombard is shrill and annoying.
