Short summary
Betty Jackson, a socialite, and Barry Trent are attracted to each other upon first sight. They met running into each other in the park as they walked their respective dogs day after day. Betty doesn't know what Barry does for a living, but because he has different dogs on each walk, he implies he works in his family's dog breeding business. In reality, he is a poor dog walker, he only doing this job as he, a recent journalism graduate, can't get a job as a reporter, despite he constantly at the offices of the Evening Star newspaper trying to work his way into speak to the editor/publisher, Horace Mansfield, about that job. Although Mansfield tells him that there are no reporter jobs available at the newspaper, Barry is able to convince Mansfield to hire him in another capacity: as the fall guy. Whenever a disgruntled subject of a story or article comes into complain to Mansfield and to have the head of the person who wrote the story or article, Mansfield trots out Barry as the author,...
This film did poorly at the box office and RKO lost $35,000 ($587,000 in 2016) according to studio records.
The "Baltimore 1845" ten cent stamp that Mansfield is after is an actual rare stamp - Scott's #3X2 on white paper and #3X4 on light blue paper. The best examples can fetch tens of thousands of dollars at auction. What is shown in the film is a facsimile of the stamp, of course, with cancellations done poorly.
Trent's initial salary of $25/week would equate to $420 in 2016.
