Plot
Department-store owner Cassandra Plesner has died, leaving half-ownership in the store to her nephew, singer-songwriter Tony Evons. The other half is owned by Cassandra's daughter and Tony's cousin Marcella Plesner. Evons has no interest in running a department store, so he plans to sell his interest in the store and use the money to build a pop music conservatory. Mr. Granger, the store manager, plots to kill Evons before he can sell his half of the business, marry the wealthy Marcella, and then likely kill her, becoming sole owner of the store. Marcella is suspicious, worried about Tony's safety if anyone should suspect her of engaging in foul play to take over the store. Against Mr. Granger's wishes, she hires private detective Walter Feldman as a floorwalker and Tony's bodyguard. Tony is in love with store employee Jane Cowley while Walter romances Marcella. Walter, Ronaldo, and Mirko eventually expose Mr. Granger and save Tony.
