We’re in the Money

Ginger and Dixie are recruited by Homer Bronson for $1000 to serve subpoenas in a breach-of-promise suit brought by Claire LeClaire against C. Richard Courtney. They must work fast because a new state law banning such suits will take effect in a few weeks. The stakes are high, since missing the deadline could derail the case.

Ginger and Courtney, masquerading as a chauffeur named Carter, have fallen in love. Unaware of Ginger's real job, Courtney remains in the dark about her as a process server. Ginger already knows the defendant, adding a dangerous twist to their romance.

Using trickery, Ginger and Dixie manage to serve papers on three wary targets: nightclub singer Phil Logan, gangster Butch Gonzola, and professional wrestler Man Mountain Dean, who is in the middle of a bout with Chief Pontiac. The operations take place across a nightclub and a wrestling arena, heightening the tension. Each service tightens the stakes of the looming deadline.

On the advice of his lawyer Stephen Dinsmore, Courtney prepares to sail away to safety on his yacht. The plan is to escape the scandal by disappearing abroad. The clock is ticking as legal trouble closes in.

Ginger jumps from a motorboat piloted by the erratic Bronson and feigns distress, hoping to catch Courtney's attention. She is rescued by Courtney's crewmen, and the close encounter makes the lovers confront their feelings. The brush with danger begins to clear the air between them.

During the recovery, they finally learn each other's true identities, though the revelation comes with its own complications. They admit they love each other and decide to marry.

Ginger sends a message to Dixie asking her to bring a few things for the honeymoon. Dixie misreads the situation, believing Ginger is merely luring Courtney in. The exchange foreshadows trouble at the dock.

When the couple steps onto the dock, Dixie serves the last subpoena, a move that catches everyone off guard. The situation reinforces the strain between Ginger, Courtney, and the plaintiff's case.

Courtney believes Ginger was merely acting and angrily breaks up with her. The couple's trust fractures, and they drift apart as the wedding looms.

At the trial, Bronson produces a photograph showing LeClaire cosily nestled in Courtney's lap, casting doubt on Ginger's relationship with Courtney. Courtney agrees to marry LeClaire, yielding to social pressure. The courtroom tension heightens as loyalties and love collide.

Bronson confides to Ginger and Dixie that he faked the picture by combining two others. The confession reveals his motive and undermines the wedding plan.

Ginger rushes to stop the wedding ceremony just in time. She and Courtney reconcile and decide to pursue their future together.
