WISE GIRL

“A BIG DOUBLE-HELPING OF BLONDE TROUBLE That's Romance IN THE 1938 MANNER!”

Snooty heiress decides to track down her dead sister's kids, who are living a Bohemian life with their uncle in Greenwich Village. Once she finds them, she discovers that the Bohemian life is fun and free of the constraints her country-club life places on her. But she decides to take the uncle to court anyway to free him from the kids so he can paint.
