Synopsis by Hal Erickson
When his wife Claudia (Virginia Valli) files for divorce, writer James Langham (Pat O'Malley) is stuck with the cooking and the housework. What to do? Langham hires a surrogate wife, Gladys Moon (Helen Lee Worthing), to handle the domestic responsibilities -- with the understanding that there'll be no lovemaking on the premises. Claudia, however, suspects that James and Gladys are fooling around and decides against a reconciliation with James in favor of a marriage to fortune hunter Alphonse Marsac (Albert Conti). At this point, James is galvanized into action, kidnapping Gladys from a speeding train and declaring his undying devotion.
