Comment
The playboy son of a wealthy businessman says he wants to marry his father's secretary. So his father cuts him off, tells him to get a job and sacks the secretary. However the father is paying the secretary to get him to get a job. Things do not go as planned when they team up with an advertising executive, market a rival product and fall in love. This is a light film sending up advertising, that is notable for an early performance from Carol Lombard and a cameo early in the film from Louise Brooks.
