Figures Don't Lie Synopsis

Janet Wells is the secretary to boss "Howdy" Jones, but finds it increasingly problematic to get any work done because of her boss' insanely jealous wife, who just "knows" that the beautiful Janet is having an affair with her husband. Janet is attracted to the office's new sales manager, Bob Blewe, but is somewhat put off by his "fresh" attitude towards her, and refuses his invitation to accompany him to the office picnic. He takes Dolores, the office's pretty but somewhat dingy stenographer, instead, arousing Janet's jealousy. Having two jealous women in the same office can only lead to complications--and that's exactly what happens.

Mary's Ankle Synopsis

While walking along the street one day, Arthur P. Hampton, an impoverished young doctor, and his chums, Stub Masters and Johnny Stokes, are persuaded to part with their last remaining funds by tag day solicitor Mary Jane Smith, with whom the doctor promptly falls in love. Doc's friends then hit upon a get-rich-quick scheme. Knowing that his Uncle George has promised a large sum of money upon his nephew's marriage, they persuade Doc to send out fake wedding invitations naming Mary Jane as the blushing bride. Uncle George, elated at the good news, writes to Mary Jane's aunt, Angelica Burns, an old sweetheart, to invite Mary Jane and Angelica to be his guests on an ocean voyage. Meanwhile, Mary Jane pays a visit to the doctor's office and, upon seeing the wedding invitations, becomes so flustered that she trips and sprains her ankle. Doc comes to her rescue and then begs her to pose as his wife. She agrees, but at ship-side, Stub and Johnnie confess all to Uncle George, who flies into a rage until Doc announces that he and Mary Jane have chosen a wedding at sea.
