B.F.'s Daughter / Polly Fulton

In October 1932, industrialist B. F. Fulton and his wife Gladys, listen to a radio speech B. F. gave the night before. B.F. tells his daughter Polly that he will be announcing the distribution of dividends from his company. Polly gives the tip to her boyfriend, Robert T, hoping that the information will result in Bob's readiness to marry her. Bob refuses to act on Polly's tip.
A short time later, Polly meets Thomas W. Brett, a university economics professor. Tom professes his love for Polly and they plan to marry. Tom takes Polly to a small island in Minnesota, where they build a modest home. Polly becomes restless and leaves the island for New York City, where she secretly secures a lecture tour for Tom. The lecture tour brings Tom success and notoriety, and an appointment to an important White House position.
Tom, however, turns his back on his success and his marriage, when he realized that Polly arranged his tour. Polly goes to Washington in the hope of saving her marriage. In Washington, Polly accuses Tom of taking a Dutch mistress. She discovers that the Dutch woman is a blind war refugee Bob has been caring. Tom and Polly eventually reconcile.
