...wife of two seasons mighty-eared Cineman Clark Sable has lately been "Pappy," and his name for blonde, scatter-whimmed Carole Lombard has become "Ma." Aware also that their appearance at Sam Goldwyn's superspecial, star-stacked Greek War Benefit was characterized by the seemliest reticence, Hollywood magi took counsel among the stars, forecast that another Gable would shortly be added to their house...
...years ago frenetic, tyrannical Producer Samuel ("Include me out") Goldwyn filed suit in a Federal court to compel United Artists to release him from his distribution contract. Two of his four partners in United Artists, Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks (who died a few months later) were no longer making films.

Gable, as the footloose correspondent of a U. S. paper, finds himself involved in the political intrigue of the U. S. S. R. That also includes Miss Lamarr who strolls placidly through the role of a Soviet streetcar motorman intent on the cause. Scripters Ben Hecht and Charles Lederer's picture of bungling and dawdling inside the Soviet is a lot less witty, and less tender than Greta Garbo...
