Enthüllung um Mitternacht (1939)
Eve Peabody, ein Revuegirl aus Indiana, ist hinter dem Geld der Männer her, jedoch hat das Glück sie gerade verlassen. Nachdem sie an den Spieltischen von Monte Carlo ihr letztes Geld verloren hat, kommt sie nach Paris mit nichts als dem Goldlamekleid, das sie am Körper trägt, einem Pfandschein, einem letzten Centime und ihrer Geistesgegenwart. Mit dem festen Vorsatz, sich in der Pariser High Society einen Platz zu verschaffen, blufft sie sich ihren Weg in eine Abendgesellschaft, wo sie sich als „Baroness Czerny” ausgibt. Ihre Maske wird von einem der Gäste, Georges Flamarion, durchschaut; er bemerkt aber gleichzeitig ihre Wirkung auf Jacques Picot, den Liebhaber seiner Frau, und heckt einen Plan aus, mit Hilfe von Eve, Jacques und Helen auseinander zu bringen. Während einer Wochenend-Party auf dem Landsitz der Flamarions beglückwünschen Georges und Eve sich, wie gut der Plan zu funktionieren scheint. „Nicht vergessen”, sagt Eve zu ihm „für jedes Aschenbrödel kommt eine Mitternacht.”
