Plot: The boys are discouraged when their girlfriends break up with them. But each of them forgets his troubles when they overhear actress Thelma Todd rehearsing a death scene for an upcoming play. The boys mistake Miss Todd's 'death' for the real deal, and each 'rescue' and fall in love with her. Thelma takes joy in playing with their affections, especially after they tell her about their failed romances. The jealous ex-girlfriends overhear the 'love-making' and quickly take their men back.
