Beautiful secretary Mary Linden is smitten by Jim Duneen, the laddish salesman hoping to land himself a better job as an executive. Mary is able to orchestrate this for him, and he is soon sitting in the President's chair happy as Larry. The only trouble is, because of his high position he is now starting to neglect Mary, taking her for granted, hiring an extra assistant and openly flirting with other women in front of her. Mary is devastated, and tries to find solace in the arms of married, yet devoted Ronnie. Once Jim realises what he might lose, he desperately tries to win Mary back.
Mary Astor is gorgeous here, and I can't help but guess that the time she was filing this coincided with the infamous scandal of her 'red diary' which contained the memoirs of all the men she had slept with... behind her husband's back. This gives an added juiciness to the film where she plays a meek and proper secretary.
