Figures Don't Lie

In the high-pressure environment of a 1920s business office, Janet Wells serves as the backbone of the operation while navigating a domestic minefield. As the secretary to the eccentric 'Howdy' Jones, Janet finds her professional competence constantly undermined by Mrs. Jones, a woman whose pathological jealousy transforms every routine memo into a perceived love letter. The arrival of Bob Blewe, a charismatic but cocky new sales manager, adds a layer of romantic tension to the clerical chaos. When Janet rejects Bob’s advances due to his perceived arrogance, he retaliates by taking the dim-witted but attractive stenographer, Dolores, to the annual office picnic. The result is a spiraling comedy of errors where professional decorum is discarded in favor of petty rivalries and misunderstood intentions, proving that while figures on a ledger might not lie, the people who calculate them certainly do.
