Advertising photographer Steve Jackson (Richard Arlen) spies a young woman in her underwear jumping off a fire escape. The woman, Kay (Fay Wray) is a heiress, who accepts Steve's help though won't say much about what she was doing.
Later on it transpires that an artist in the apartment Kay was seen escaping from is found dead. While the police are sniffing around Steve and Kay pretend they are engaged (despite a more hate-hate than love-hate relationship). Meanwhile the brother of the dead artist, Morgan (Marc Lawrence), a gangster, is also looking for the murderer of his brother, and he doesn't intend to take any prisoners...
So, this sounds like a promising murder / crime drama. Unfortunately it is not, the film is stuffed full of eccentric characters and is more comedy than crime drama. The actual crime indeed does not seem to be that important for most of the film! The film is watchable though frustrating.
