Three of a Kind

Three of a Kind

Barbara 'Babs' Penfield (Evalyn Knapp) is trying to convince her father, laundry-magnate F. Thorndyke Penfield (Richard Carle), to invest money in a proposition from her sweetheart Rodney Randall (Bradley Page.) Her father refuses as he knows Randall is a fortune hunter, as did any 30's audience once Bradley Page appeared on the scene. While Penfield hurries out to award the Penfield Prize for Service at his laundry, Babs, finding her allowance has been stopped by her father, tries to sell her car to raise cash to give to Randall. While Babs is talking to the car dealer in his shop, 'Con' Cornelius (Berton Churchill), just out of jail, sells the car, pockets the cash and makes a getaway. The car is bought by Jerry Bassett (Chick Chandler), who has just won the Penfield $1,000 Service and has quit his job at the laundry. (So much for service awards.) Jerry drives his flashy car to the Royal Valley, a swanky resort, where Randall is awaiting financial help from Barbara.
