Synopsis: | Three law-school graduates wait in their new office for business to turn up. "The law business is just like a snowball," says Arthur, while Fay, his fiancee and secretary says, there's no business so why don't they get busy and find some? Even her kid brother's efforts to drum up trade haven't helped-until he gets hit by a car. An eccentric and wealthy playboy, Bobby Carlin, enters the picture, takes a liking to the young lawyers, and hires them at a huge salary on the promise that they must always represent him without question. They agree, but the escapades of the new client are unbelievable and keep the three lawyers so busy that Arthur hasn't got time to get married. Soon blonde named Blossom breezes in, looking for Bobby. After all he playfully abducted her the night before, and "claims" are in order. Just another scrape for Bobby's lawyers to settle and in doing so, Arthur takes Blossom to lunch. When Bobby asks Fay to lunch with him, after giving her a diamond bracelet as a wedding present, she accepts. But it proves to be more than a luncheon date-it's another abduction!. Moreover, the note he left announces that he and Fay are to be married. This is too much for Arthur. He can no longer represent Bobby and sets out to find Fay. She is finally located through Bobby's formerly attorney, Mr. Jameson, and Arthur plans to marry her that very day. Jameson, tricked into stating that Bobby is insane, buys back Bobby's contract with the new firm for a breathtaking sum, Blossom is placated by the gift of an oil well, the young men are "sitting pretty," and the lovers are blissfully happy with their wedding day set at last. | |||||
