Living across the hall from each other in a New York City rooming house, Jane Barker and Donn Masters love each other but won't get married until they can afford to do so. Jane, a secretary earning $37.50 a week, helps Donn, a struggling writer who has yet to sell a story, financially until he becomes a success. When Donn sells his first story for $250, they believe it is enough for them to get married. What Donn is unaware of, however, is that Jane has just come into a financial windfall of her own to the tune of $1 million from an anonymous source. Jane doesn't tell him so, believing he would ultimately leave her if they lived off her wealth, that belief stemming from a discussion between the two following watching a movie on the subject, popular entertainment which she further believes reflects real life versus his belief of his depressing stories more accurately reflecting real life. That anonymous source is wealthy but miserly Jonathan Turner, whose decision to give the money to Jane, whom he didn't know but had his own reasons for doing so, was a deathbed wish. However, Jonathan makes a miraculous recovery and wants his money back. He insinuates himself into Jane and Donn's lives, without telling them who he is or that he is Jane's benefactor, in order for her to want to give the money back to him.—Huggo
