Plot
New York City in the 1930s: When the court reporter of the Morning Post gets drunk, his colleagues persuade the naive and unsuccessful newspaper poet Gil Taylor to write the court report instead. The case concerns an indigent girl accused of vagrancy, a charge which could result in a prison sentence. The romantic Gil has pity with the attractive girl and testifies on her behalf that he is her fiancée, but the judge remains skeptical and arranges for the two to get married on the spot in order to prove that they are really a couple. Gil and the girl, complete strangers to one another, agree.
