Vie facile (1937)
JB Ball, un financier milliardaire, en a assez de sa famille et plus particulièrement de son épouse dispendieuse. Au cours d'une dispute conjugale, excessivement violente, il s'empare du manteau de vison, très cher et juste acquis, de sa femme et le lance par-dessus le balcon de sa luxueuse demeure. Il atterrit sur la jeune Mary Smith, qui passait par là. Pauvre, travaillant dur, Mary n'hésite guère devant ce don du ciel. Elle s'en revêt et constate qu'on la prend dorénavant pour la moitié du milliardaire. Décidant de vivre conformément à son statut elle se rend à la Bourse, où elle réussit à provoquer un krach. D'aventures catastrophiques en soirées mondaines, Mary rencontre le fils du milliardaire. Le coup de foudre est immédiat...
