Barbara sneaks her way up to a balcony after police are notified that a prowler is on the prowl. This is after that prowler catches whiff of the law then makes good the get away. It gives you an impression that Barbara is not what you think Barbara is. Is Barbara a Detective or is Barbara window shopping or worse, a peeping Barbara. She ends up at Lonely Court and gets married to lonesome fellow who finds out he has tricks he never knew. Later, while this action continues on, Jane has one of those guys that rather take than see. Meanwhile, the plot becomes a twist after the lights come back on and Barbara cant deny whats shes been up to. What did Jane have that brought Barbara out of the closet, to visit radio star Jane?
When popular radio singer Jane Merrick drops out of sight after announcing that she is taking a vacation, her admirer, radio producer Jim Wallace, suspects foul play and goes to a private detective agency for help. The head of the agency tells Jim that because of Janes fame, an outside detective should be hired for the case. Later, the police spot an intruder trying to break into a balcony window at Janes apartment but are unable to catch him. However, a few minutes later, the officers apprehend a woman as she tries to sneak into the apartment and take her to night court. There, wisecracking crime reporter Jerry Beal is immediately taken with the woman, who has identified herself as Barbara Hammond, and to get her off, he tells the judge that she is his fiancée and a compulsive practical joker, and that the apartment she was breaking into was his own. The judge "jokingly" marries him to Barbara, then releases Barbara to her husbands custody. Although Barbara assures Jerry that he can obtain an immediate annulment, he insists instead on a dinner date later that week. Jerry then visits Jim, a friend, and learns about Janes disappearance, the facts of which Jim begs Jerry not to disclose in print. After a pleasant dinner with Jerry, Barbara, who declines to answer any of his questions about her activities, returns to Janes apartment and sneaks in the balcony window. While hiding behind a curtain, Barbara overhears a conversation between Jane and a rough-talking man, who apparently has been blackmailing her. Moments after the man leaves, a gunshot rings out and Jane falls to the floor, dead. As Barbara picks up the killers discarded gun, the police arrive, having been alerted to the scene by Jerry, who was watching the place on a hunch. Barbara is arrested, and although Jerry is sure that she is innocent, she refuses to explain her presence in Janes apartment. Determined to clear Barbaras name, Jerry begins his own investigation of the murder and eventually is led to a private sanitarium run by a Dr. Wagner. One night, Jerry and Jim go to the sanitarium and through a window see Jane on a surgeons table, apparently being operated on by Dr. Wagner. After Jerry and Jim are discovered, they are tied up and threatened at gunpoint by Dr. Wagner. At that moment, however, Sally, Janes maid, enters the room and identifies Jim as Janes fiancé. Dr. Wagner then explains that Jane is alive and well and came to him to have an embarrassing birthmark removed in secret. The murdered woman, he reveals, was Janes twin sister. Armed with this information, Jerry rushes to police headquarters, where Barbara is undergoing an intense interrogation. After Barbara breaks down and confesses to the crime in front of Dapper Dan, a gangster whom the police have dragged in for questioning, Jane appears in front of him as the ghost of her twin. Terrified by the phony apparition, Dan confesses to killing Janes sister as revenge for being dumped by her. The police reveal to Jerry that Barbara, the outside private detective, had agreed to help them corner the man they suspected of the crime by faking the tortured confession. A relieved Jerry forgives Barbara for her deception, then makes plans for their honeymoon.
