Since her Navy officer boyfriend Jimmy (Craig Reynolds) has been
detained, Carol (Fay Wray) decides to spend the evening with his best
friend Steve (Grant Withers) instead, and before you know it, romance
between the two is blossoming ... which is when Steve's money runs out.
Now he knows he could get a good deal of money if he delivers a certain
unaddressed letter, supposedly containing some rare stamps, to someone he
doesn't know, but to find out who the letter is actually for, the two of
them get into a serious case of espionage, which ends in Steve being tied
up and almost tortured and Carol being almost bumped off, but just when
you thought the two have had it, the police arrives, arrests all the
baddies, and the two lovebirds are finally introduced to each other (to
noones real surprise) as FBI-agents working on the same case. Wilhelm
von Brincken plays the head of the foreign spy ring after Carol and Steve,
Dewey Robinson, George Sorel, André Cheron and Robert Frazer can all be
seen as members of the same ring. Cheaply done yet well-made
romantic comedy turning into espionage thriller that's greatly helped by
its two leads, Grant Withers and especially Fay Wray, who really put this
film, which isn't especially special, into a different league from similar
fare with lesser leads.
