Radio baritone Joe Morrison was being groomed for stardom by
Paramount when he was top-billed in One Hour Late. Morrison is cast as
shipping clerk Eddie Blake, whose girlfriend Betty Dunn (Helen
Twelvetrees) is secretary to big boss Stephen Barclay (Conrad Nagel). A
trusting soul, Betty sees nothing wrong in accepting Barclay's invitation
to visit his home for the weekend. But Eddie suspects the worst and tags
along to make sure that Betty's virtue remains intact. As it happens,
Eddie's fears are groundless — as are those of Barclay's wife Ellen (Gail
Patrick), who was poised to walk out on her husband at the first sign of
extramarital hanky-panky. The script contrives to have a radio station
located in the building where Eddie works, permitting Joe Morrison to
croon a medley of his hit "The Last Roundup.
