The dream-wish fulfillment opus -- in which the wronged country girl, Jennie Ames, who acquires the title of Mrs. Gilbert Lancaster, 3rd, in a haze of blurry-eyed romance, crashes out of her marriage when she finds out how vengefully her new husband has used her. Alias Kitty Marlows, and finding her way into a travel agency, she escapes his search for her, finds a loyal friend in Jane Wood, lollops from Paris to California and gets mixed up in some narsty doings on the part of a passe actor, Pateau. Gil and Lurv comes into her life again -- And There Is The Question -- Shall She Tell Him Her Real Identity? It takes a death and the mimicry of Pateau's chimpanzee (trained like all crazy) to free Gil from a murder charge and to uninhibit Jennie-Kitty for an open-arms ending.
