Carole Raymond (Francis) is a film star whose best years are behind her; so, she decides to buy in a real estate plan with Jeff Caldwell (Cavanagh), who is really running an illegitimate matrimonial service.
Kay Francis was unhappy with the first script; so, she and director Phil Karlson set about obtaining a re-write, and became a producer on the film.[2]
The production period was from mid-June to early July 1946.[3]
