THE BIRTHDAY BALL

The murky past of mysterious parentage and unpublicized adoption mess up the life of piquant Holly Rayburn (but more plausibly than above). Crusading young editor Perry, with his plans for the fall election, uccumbs to Holly although she is his rival's fiance. Threat of blackmail involving Holly and her father, the Judge, only bolsters his courage to scotch political snakes, get the right man in office and the only girl in his arms. For rent, but on higher terms.
