A loafer and a manicurist, both planning to marry money, meet and form an uneasy alliance.
Hotel manicurist Regi Allen is a cynical golddigger who meets her match in Theodore 'Ted' Drew III. After a date with Ted, she lets him sleep on her couch when he's too drunk to go further; but what is she to think when he wants to extend the arrangement?—Rod Crawford <[email protected]>
Regi Allen works as a manicurist in the barber shop at the upscale Savoy-Carlton Hotel in New York City, it a job she doesn't much like or sees as her future as her goal in it is to meet and marry a wealthy man to get her out of her poverty. Love is not to factor into who she marries. In this job, she meets two "wealthy" clients in quick succession. The first is Allen Macklyn, who, she posits because he has money, wants people in general including her to marry for love. He becomes her best friend and confidante, she in the process unaware that he has indeed fallen in love with her. The second is happy-go-lucky Theodore Drew III, heir to the Drew fortune. Her initial dislike of him in she not realizing that he is from money changes to nervousness upon discovering who he is in wanting to impress him in seeing him as husband material. All pretense between Regi and Ted goes out the window when he divulges that he is penniless in the Drews having lost their fortune in the 1929 crash, and that he too is marrying for money - his fiancée Victoria Snowden aware of the situation - in never having worked a day in his life and not sure if he could survive if required to do so. Regi and Ted end up spending concentrated time together in she helping him out of a bind. In the process, they have to decide what to do when they too discover that they have fallen in love with each other.—Huggo

An ambitious manicurist and a penniless playboy make an agreement that both will marry for money, and love will not be a deciding factor. 'Regi" Allen, tired of her job in the barber shop of a snooty Manhattan hotel, meets Allan Macklyn, an invalid because of an injury in a recent airplane crash, and confides in him her desire to wed a "bankroll," regardless of love. She thinks her dreams have come true when she meets socialite-playboy Theodore "Ted" Drew. While night-clubbing, he misses his boat to Bermuda, and she puts him up for the night in her apartment. There, he confesses that it his fiancée that has money but he does not but his aim, like hers, is the same. She and Ted set up a little platonic light-housekeeping in her apartment, each to pursue their own goal. Later, just as their agreement and goals for each are about to materialize, they discover they have fallen in love...with each other.—Les Adams <[email protected]>
