Clara Bow and her sister Jean Arthur are wisecracking department store
employees with ever-roaming eyes for eligible bachelors-particularly
those with fat bank accounts. Both girls fall for the same wealthy man
(James Hall) but Bow temporarily loses out to Arthur, who is just a tad
craftier and a whole lot nastier. On the occasion of a wild costume party,
the truth of Arthur's gold-digging duplicity comes out, and true-blue Bow
wins the hero. Saturday Night Kid is a remake of the 1926 silent film Love
'Em and Leave 'Em, in which the female leads were played by Evelyn Brent
and Louise Brooks. Both films were based on a stage play by George
Abbott-which, in turn, was adapted from a verse novel by Townsend
Martin.
