When theater patron Ole Olsen asks her to take care of the apartment he just inherited while he is at sea, Bunny agrees and is astonished to find the apartment on Park Avenue, complete with twelve rooms and a Rolls Royce. The superintendent sends her Charlie, whom she believes will be the butler, but who actually is a backer for the private gambling club that regularly takes place in a secret room in the apartment. Bunny is shocked, but stays when she sees that Douglas is one of the patrons. Bunny loses her job when her boss is robbed at the club one night during a hold-up. Douglas manages to retain some money Charlie had given Bunny, and with it she buys glamorous new clothes. Unknown to Bunny, Douglas is the leader of the bandits. When she rebuffs his amorous advances and insists that marriage is the only way he can touch her, Douglas marries her, seeing this as a way to live in an expensive apartment, and vows to his cohorts that he will divorce her the minute she turns into a 'ball and chain.' One night after Douglas claims he has a meeting to attend, Bunny dresses in her finest and returns to her old theater for a visit. She is introduced backstage to famous actress Betty Royce, who is making a public appearance with her famed million-dollar jewels. In the middle of Betty's speech, the lights go out and she is robbed, and Bunny sees Douglas in the crowd as she is leaving. At home, Douglas claims he was meeting someone to buy a diamond, and gives Bunny the diamond out of Betty's ring. While getting cigarettes from Douglas' coatpocket, Bunny finds Betty's empty ring and recognizes it as the source of her diamond. She is ready to confront Douglas when she overhears him talking to his cohorts about leaving town, because the police found out his wife visited Betty backstage the same night of the robbery. Bunny tries to keep him there, but when the police arrive, he escapes. Bunny is arrested as an accomplice and is prepared to take the blame for the robbery when Douglas appears and returns the jewels to the police. After doing time in jail, Douglas is released on parole and rejoins Bunny, who has become the manager of the theater, now owned by Ole Olsen"--AFI catalog, 1931-1940.

The night Clay proposes to Nancy, the police plan to raid Jack's home, but Jack gets a sudden premonition and sends the gamblers home. Judge Martin Prentice, an old friend of Helen who once was in love with her mother, Margaret Price, visits Jack in order to buy a Corot painting from him, and they discuss the dangerous power of Jack's telepathic abilities. Jack's next visitor is Frank Hardmuth, a political grafter who wants control of Jack's gambling ring as well as his daughter. Jack threatens to kill Hardmuth and kicks him out. During the poker game, Jack acquired gambler Lew Ellinger's cat's eye ring, of which Clay is deathly afraid. When Jack inadvertently hypnotizes Clay in order to alleviate his fear of the ring, he transfers his murderous thought to Clay. The next morning when Clay stares into the ring, Jack's desire to see Hardmuth dead rises from Clay's subconscious and he kills him, then wakes out of the hypnotic trance to find himself accused of murder. When no reputable lawyer will take the case, Helen appeals to Martin, who is retired. Martin kindly declines until the ghost of Margaret Price appeals to him. In court, the jury laughs at Martin's claim that Clay committed murder via thought transference, until Jack convinces the foreman of the jury, through hypnosis, to shoot the prosecuting attorney with a gun filled with blanks. As the jury acquits Clay, Martin asks the ghost of Margaret if he might return to his fireplace and slippers"--AFI catalog, 1931-1940.
