Joe Anton (Raft) is just dazzled with Jerry Healy (Cummings) who, night after night, comes to his club to sit alone at a table, talking to no one. It seems that the stately club was once her childhood home and Joe, who is already questioning his place in society, sees her not only as a lady but also the girl of his dreams.

Danny, you might want to point out that Mae West wrote all her scenes in Night After Night. This is notable especially for the hilarious scene where Maudie, after they have cemented their friendship by drinking several bottles of champagne, offers the startled Miss Jellyman a job.
