Editing Libeled Lady (section)

==Plot==
Wealthy Connie Allenbury is falsely accused of breaking up a marriage and sues the ''New York Evening Star'' newspaper for $5 million for [[libel]]. Warren Haggerty, the managing editor, turns in desperation to former reporter and suave ladies' man Bill Chandler for help. Bill's scheme is to maneuver Connie into being alone with him when his wife shows up, so that the suit will have to be dropped. Bill is not married, so Warren volunteers his long-suffering fiancée, Gladys Benton, to marry Bill in name only, over her loud protests.

Bill arranges to return to the United States from England on the same [[ocean liner]] as Connie and her father J. B. He pays some men to pose as reporters and harass Connie at the dock, so that he can "rescue" her and become acquainted. On the voyage, Connie initially treats him with contempt, assuming that he is just the latest in a long line of fortune hunters after her money, but Bill gradually overcomes her suspicions.

Complications arise when Connie and Bill actually fall in love. They get married, but Gladys decides that she prefers Bill to a marriage-averse newspaperman and interrupts their honeymoon to reclaim her husband. Bill reveals that he found out that Gladys was married before and that her [[Yucatán]] divorce was invalid, thus rendering their own marriage invalid. But Gladys reveals she obtained a second divorce in [[Reno, Nevada|Reno]], so she and Bill are legally husband and wife. Connie and Bill manage to show Gladys that she really loves Warren.
