Storyline

Gloria Dobson is finding it hard to become a night club singer in New York because she has "no name". She is given a chance to acquire one when her trunk is delivered by mistake to the home of socialite James Manning III . The latter's wealthy Aunt Matilda has Jimmy tagged for marriage to Louella Marvin. Jimmy, not interested in marrying Louella, and his butler, Michael persuade Gloria, who has come to claim her trunk, to be introduced to Aunt Mathilda as Jimmy's "secret bride". The news of his "secret marriage" makes the newspapers, and his lawyers advise him that the only way out is an actual marriage to Gloria, followed by a quick divorce. Gloria agrees and they are married, and she discovers she has fallen in love with Jimmy. But humiliated because Jimmy still wants a divorce, she defiantly obtains a night club singing engagement on the strength of her married name... Written by Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>
