Anxious to restore him self to his former wife's good graces, equally anxious to cap ture the fugitive whom he sus pects she is hiding. Pallette's prescence on the scene lends tel ling effectiveness to a comedy of mitrAffpnnslv humorous conse-1 quences. In addition, Alan Mar shal lends further humor to the film, in his role as the elegant young publisher of a newspaper. Eager to replace Pallette in Miss Young's affections, he has cen tered all the journalistic fire he can upon the unhappy husband. Shooting him is a good idea, and Marshal is in hearty accord with it until he discovers that Miss Young is hiding the would-be assassin! Douglas, caught between these cross-fires of romance and of jealousy, is said to provide a brilliant and delightful charac terization as the fugitive who hid from the law in a lady's boudoir and stayed not only for breakfast but for lunch, tea, dinner, breakfast and a few other meals!
