That evening Sim keeps himself cheerful by drinking the night away at the Merrygoround nightclub, where he has good contractual news to give to the floor chanteuse, Inez “Johnny” Johnson (Jewell). In vain does Sim tell her that Haworth has a habit of using women then beating them up and dumping them.
In reality, after he’s had a fit of nauseatingly patronizing chauvinism (along the lines of “Oh, darling, I’ve always said you’re too beautiful to have any sense”), Trenna tells him to put his head where the sun don’t shine, and promises herself instead to showbiz entrepreneur Len Haworth (Page), who has offered to bankroll her next three movies. Aunt Melissa, who has refused to leave her house for over two decades since a tragedy of the heart in her youth, assumes Trenna is planning to marry Sim in hopes of getting her claws on her (Aunt Melissa’s) fortune. But he has also come to love movie actress Trenna Plaice (Bruce), and wants her to marry him. even though she does her best to present herself to the world as a grim, hatchet-faced old boot. Good-hearted NYC advertising salesman and playboy Simeon “Sim” Sturdevant (Cortez) loves his dear old aunt, Melissa Pilsen (Collier), and she loves him back.
