Comment
A man (Willam Powell) is employed to front a company making artificial rubber by selling the stock in the company, but problems arise when the stock holders want to meet the inventer of the artifical rubber. There is a good cast with William Powell in the lead as the fast talking salesman, Evelyn Brent as his long suffering girl friend and Evelyn Knapp as his secretary. The problem with the film is that the script is thin and the relationship William Powell and Evelyn Brent is not really convincing.
