Basedon a Novel of S. Corbett
Returning from the war, Jim Scott (Lundigan) moves into a old building purchased by his wife and the two run into many troubles as landlords to tenants that include Jim's wartime friend (Marilyn), who arouses suspicion when "Bobby" turns out to be a woman.
Jim and Connie's postwar New York building troubles keep Jim from working on his novel. Ex-WAC from Jim's army days Roberta moves in, further upsetting Connie but pleasing Jim's friend Ed. Tenant Charley, who marries tenant Eadie, loans money to Jim to help him keep the building, money which this Casanova obtains from rich widows. Fox threw Marilyn into this film as part of the effort to use her as much as possible as soon as they signed her to a new contract. She plays the role of the sexy blonde, as usual, this time an ex-WAC who arouses the jealousy of her friend and landlord's wife.
