Party Wire

Heir to a dairy farm in a small farming community, Matthew Putnam (Victor Jory) returns home to care for his ailing aunt and is surprised to see how childhood friend Marge Oliver (Jean Arthur) has grown. Jealous of Matt's wealth and success, Marge's boyfriend Roy goes to New York to make his career. When Marge has difficulties with Roy's accounting work, Matt telephones him and demands he return, unaware that the town gossips are listening in on the party line and misinterpreting everything.
