As Barney is lamenting not being able to get his first column in on time, his photographer, Snapper Doolan, assures Barney that he did write a column the night before while he was drunk. Barney\u0027s story details how he is the loneliest man in New York and is searching for the loneliest girl, with whom he would like to share an idyllic Christmas on an upstate farm. Barney is surprised by the response of his editor, J. B. Douglas, who thinks that the column is a winner and offers to let him use his own farm, complete with caretakers Mary and Ben Perkins, who will pose as Barney\u0027s aunt and uncle. Later that night at a \u0022clip-joint,\u0022 a nightclub in which hostesses persuade male customers to buy expensive drinks, hostess June White unhappily plies her trade while fending off the advances of the club\u0027s owner, Gus Brawley. June, who only works in the club to support her parents back home, reads Barney\u0027s column and dreams of spending an old-fashioned Christmas with him. June\u0027s roommate and co-worker Eunice warns June not to get any ideas about splitting with Brawley, as the last girl who did was killed. Brawley sends June back out on the floor, where she picks her next mark, the young and well-to-do Paul Randall. She steals Paul\u0027s wallet, and when he later complains, June witnesses Paul confront Brawley in Brawley\u0027s office. The club owner kills the youth and orders his henchman, Whitey Walker, to dispose of the body. The next morning, Whitey confides to June that he was driving all night, and June, anxious to get away, contacts Douglas about Barney\u0027s column. After Douglas chooses June, Barney meets her at the train station on the day before Christmas and they go to the farm. There they are greeted by the kindly Perkinses, and June blossoms under their care and Barney\u0027s solicitude. The next day, the couples open their presents, and after Barney goes to town to replace an ornament he has broken, June bakes a pie for him. While Barney is gone, however, Brawley arrives and orders June to return with him. Convinced that June has given the details of his organization to Barney, he tries to kill her. When frantic Barney finds her in the hospital soon after, he is disillusioned to find out that she is not the wholesome girl he believed she was. She agrees to testify against Brawley, but during the trial, changes her testimony and states that she knows nothing about Paul\u0027s murder. Barney is furious, although later she reveals that she perjured herself to get in good with Brawley so that she could discover where Whitey hid Paul\u0027s body. Following a clue provided by June, Barney and Snapper find the house in New Jersey where Whitey took the corpse and alert the police. Before the police arrive though, Brawley brings June to the house to kill her. Two elderly neighbors, Flora and Dora, help rescue June, and the police arrest Brawley. Later, with the past behind them and a bright future they can look forward to, June and Barney take the train to the farm to celebrate the new year.","wins":0,"nominations":0,"casts":[{"name":"Michael Whalen","code":"nm0923481","characters":"Barney Callahan"},{"name":"Jean Rogers","code":"nm0736939","characters":"June White"},{"name":"Chick Chandler","code":"nm0151334","characters":"Snapper Doolan"},{"name":"Douglas Fowley","code":"nm0288830","characters":"Gus Brawley"},{"name":"John \u0027Dusty\u0027 King","code":"nm0454878","characters":"Paul Randall"},{"name":"Jane Darwell","code":"nm0002034","characters":"Aunt Mary Perkins"},{"name":"June Gale","code":"nm0301865","characters":"Eunice"},{"name":"Spencer Charters","code":"nm0153556","characters":"Uncle Ben Perkins"},{"name":"Theodore von Eltz","code":"nm0902226","characters":"Whitey"},{"name":"Cliff Clark","code":"nm0163785","characters":"Collins"},{"name":"Charles D.
