Storyline

A wealthy young widow begins to date a suave European man. A mutual friend tells her that the European has trouble clearing his fortune with customs, so he needs a certain amount of money. She makes a large loan to the European man, keeping his valuable stamp collection as collateral. Eventually, the European and his collaborators disappear, leaving the young widow to discover that her boyfriend was a fraud, and the stamp collection is almost worthless.

Trivia

The copy of "The Case Of The Matchmaker" floating around on public domain releases contains the wrong end credits. The credits are actually for "Romance Unlimited", although they feature a different background (cigarette packs instead of a filing cabinet). If the correct credits are ever found, they should include the characters Larry Coswick (stamp shop owner), Mrs. May Norton, Harry Johnson, and Norman West, amongst others. These are the characters that appeared in "The Case Of The Matchmaker". Any credits listing characters named Chuck Martin, Karen Spencer, Grace Kellogg, Janitor Dorset, Tex, and others are for "Romance Unlimited".
