A pre-Code RKO comedy spun from the era's divorce scandals. Lawyer Chester Hamilton (Sidney Blackmer) keeps his practice afloat by hiring a professional "co-respondent" — the glamorous Phyllis Van Kamp (Verree Teasdale) — to pose as the other woman in divorce cases. When Oswald Groggs (Charles Ruggles), a hapless real-estate clerk down to his last dollars, gets tangled in the scheme, mistaken identities and double-crosses pile up fast. Directed by H. Bruce Humberstone and built for pure speed, it is a tidy example of the studio's pre-Code programmers — risqué, cynical, and over in an hour. Its copyright was never renewed; it is in the public domain in the United States.
