Jane comes to believe her husband Ken is having an extramarital affair with his secretary Kitty. To give him a taste of his own medicine, Jane secretly takes a job as secretary to womanizing architect Bernard Dexter, who, unbeknownst to Jane, has a business relationship with Ken.[3]
Despite playing a married woman, star Linda Darnell was only 15 years old at the time of filming, having been born on October 16, 1923. Fox studio executive Darryl F. Zanuck added two years to her real age when he signed her to a contract. [4]
