Extra-marital fun and games at a convention of the Honeywell Rubber Company in Atlantic City. President J.B. Honeywell is to choose a new company sales manager. T.R. Kent and George Ellerbe are two salesmen who both want the job. However, they both get into trouble: T.R. is discredited when jealous saleswoman, Arlene Dale, interferes with his attempted seduction of Honeywell's daughter, Claire, and George attempts to seduce Nancy Lorraine. The position of sales manager is bestowed upon a drunken employee as a bribe after he catches J.B. about to visit "Daisy La Rue, Exterminator." Considered a lost film.

Plot

What I want to know is -- how is it that (as of 2021) there are 86 ratings of this film, which supposedly hasn't been shown since the 1960s, or even the 1940s??I'm as interested as anyone, even though I suspect it may not have been all that good. But really: I haven't seen any first-hand accounts of the actual film -- anywhere -- and we should only be rating films we've actually seen, OK?
