Not able to find a job a secretary of such, Treasure McGuire (Marian
Nixon) is instead hired as a model by a big advertising company. But when
she refuses the advances of her boss, Foster Carver (George Meeker], he
wants to throw her out like that ... when Mr Kluckmeyer (Herman Bing) of
Tango stockings, Foster's biggest client, insists that she becomes his
trademark model ...
Soon, Treasure falls for Foster's younger, mild mannered brother Tony
(Matty Kemp, & eventually the 2 marry in secret ... muh to the dismay
of Foster, who doesn't like his brother favoured over him, & Foster's
& Tony's mum (Virginia Howell), who thinks Treasure, a mere model,
beneath her class of the filthy rich.. & since Tony is not yet 21,
Foster & mum can legally anull the marriage - which they do. Treasure,
who suspects foul play, makes Tony promise her to come back to her on his
21st birthday - so they can marry all over - but Foster has another trick
up his sleeve & produces forged proof that he himself had an affair
with Treasure. Outraged, Tony leaves the country & tries to forget
her, while her hope that Tony might come back is nourished by forged
letters Foster writes in Tony's name.
HAving run out of money, Treasure & her best friend, musician
Oliver (Chick Chandler) decide to persuade Kluckmeyer of Tango Stockings
to open a nightclub with them as main attractions, which goes well for a
while ... butr Treasuer just cannot forget Tony, 6 what's more, she has a
child from him (which she noever told him about), while Oliver is secretly
in love with her & hates see her breaking down more & more,
especially when the newspaper announces Tony's engagement to another woman
...
In a noble gesture, Oliver ignores his feelings for Treasure, goes to
the Carvers' mansion on Tony's 21st birthday & drags Tony across town
to Treasure to finally make up with her ... & this time, it works ...
Rather routine melodranm that is somewhat directionless for a mere 70
minutes, trying to tell way too much in too short a time, but Marian Nixon
makes a spirited leading lady who is able to carry most of the movie.
