Synopsis

Art shop owner Rudolph asks his assistant Elizabeth to convince Andrew to paint copies of “old masters” paintings. Elizabeth dates Andrew and he agrees to produce the copies so he can afford to marry her. Elizabeth falls in love with Andrew and learns Rudolph is having someone else forge signatures so the copies can be sold as originals. She tricks Rudolph into staging a one-man show for Andrew and reveals the copies there, foiling Rudolph’s plan. Andrew’s real paintings are a success and now he can marry Elizabeth.
