PERSONAL PROPERTY

“See Bob as a butler! See Jean as the adventuress who hires him! Thrill to 'em both-as rowdy "snuggle-pups," who can't give each other anything but love!”

Raymond Dabney returns to his family after trouble with the law. He convinces the sheriff to give him a job watching the house and furniture of widow Crystal Wetherby without knowing she is engaged to his brother.
