Plot

Ruth (Betty Grable) is a minor who is running with an uptown, older man; Ruth's brother Nick, (John Darrow), is unaware of kid sisters activities. Ruth is turned into the Juvenile authorities by the well meaning Mrs. Humphries, (Clara Kimball Young). Nick finds the man in their apartment and proceeds to be arrested for beating up the man, who runs away before Nick is arrested. Nick is taken to Night Court and remanded to the custody of the judges, (J. Farrell MacDonald), niece, Janet, for six months as her chauffeur. Janet, (Sally Blane), is the fiancé of Allen, (Eddie Phillips), who is coincidentally the man who was beaten up by Nick.

Betty Grable is on the verge of becoming a superstar, in the 1940s.[2][3]

Cast
gollark: Through unfathomable financial processes they can apparently do this forever to a limited extent.
gollark: Mostly they just borrow ridiculous amounts of money.
gollark: In governments they'll just borrow more, yes.
gollark: There have been calls to scrap the TV license and just fund it through taxes. Which would be basically the same functionally.
gollark: No, I mean the "we do worse things so you can't criticise this somewhat bad thing" thing does not make sense. Unless you want to justify this "PBS" on its own merits, in which case do so, or actually don't as I don't really care.
