Synopsis: Linda Gault (Ruth Chatterton) is a woman determined never to be poor again, which may be difficult since her husband Geoffrey (George Brent) is about to lose everything in the stock market crash.

Kitty Cameo: In the first scene Linda is with her husband’s friend, and also her lover, John Fair (Henry Kolker).  Sitting beside John on the couch is his gray long-haired cat.  He pets the cat, but not really correctly.

Later in the film Geoffrey visits John to ask for a loan.  As he enters he finds John standing and holding his cat.  John sets the cat down on a chair to talk to Geoffrey.
