False Pretenses

Directed by Charles Lamont

With Irene Ware, Sidney Blackmer, Betty Compson, Russell Hopton and Edward Gargan

A girl who's just lost her job meets a drunk millionaire on a bridge who's just lost his money. They go back to his house, and eventually come up with a plan to benefit them both: he'll scrounge enough money together to teach her how to be a lady, and then introduce her to his rich friends so she can snag a husband, after which she'll pay him a finder's fee. Complications ensue.
