Lombard was lent to Universal, to no great shakes. She's playing a woman, which in itself is a good start, who's supposedly in love with Cesar Romero, a man who's posted to Japan so that rich businessman Preston Foster (who's himself nominally engaged to Janet Beecher) can pursue her himself.
I don't know who all these people are and it's a dull, poorly written story that you have to endure for the only good moment - the ending - well, let me put that another way - the finale, which has Lombard arguing with Preston as they are declared married, she in bathrobe and feet in a hot tub.
Ted Tetzlaff was clearly hired out with Lombard, as Universal didn't trust their own cameramen. (What do I know? She may have had the authority to choose her own DP..) (Learned subsequently - she did.)
