BRIEF SYNOPSIS
Mr Love’s father left his business to his son and to Mr Three, his senior clerk. Mr Three, an efficient businessman, is in charge until the naive and inefficient Mr Love develops more business acumen. The bewitching Miss Honey is engaged as new secretary and Mr Love immediately falls for her. Mr Three, not to be outdone, uses his prosperity and senior position to turn the tables and Miss Honey and he go off for a ‘trial’ week together, leaving a suicidal Mr Love behind. This time, however, Mr Three has bitten off more than he can chew and on his return he too is suicidal. It emerges that profits have doubled during Mr Three’s absence, so Mr Love, who has done nothing, stakes his claim to seniority and Miss Honey reverts to her first man.
