ross Alexander in warner bro short

This was the fifth Warner Brothers short that William Clemens directed; he also directed the Philo Vance, Nancy Drew, and the Falcon film series. We see right off the bat that lead Kent Carter (Ross Alexander

• see his bio on IMDb for his tragic story) loves his secretary Linda,

played by Anne Nagel, and she may or may not love him back. He gets tossed out of his job, threatened by thugs, and spends the rest of this short trying to get a job, keep a job, or stay alive. Glenda Farrell (from Little Caesar & Gold Diggers) is his assistant Verna Kennedy. The dashing Craig Reynolds (died at 40 in a motorcycle accident) is his nemesis Rex Marchbanks. We get to hear Nagel sing a couple songs, while Carter keeps outsmarting the bad guys. and all neatly wrapped up in 58 minutes. fun, simple caper.
