A Dama das Camélias
Grandma Duval (uncredited)
Marguerite Gautier (Greta Garbo), uma cortesã, conhece o amor, mas é humilhada pelo antigo amante e o pai de seu novo amor, Armand Duval (Robert Taylor), que lhe diz que ela destruirá o futuro do seu filho. Diante deste quadro, apesar de amá-lo loucamente, ela não só o abandona como o faz acreditar que voltará para o seu antigo amante e protetor.
Drift Fence
Granny Dunn
Although Larry "Buster" Crabbe earns top billing, the hero of Drift Fence is former Western star Tom Keene as Jim Travis, who, at a rodeo, meets city dweller Jim Traft (Benny Baker), who has come west to erect a fence that will prevent Clay Jackson (Stanley Andrews) from continuing his cattle rustling business. A tough Western type, Travis suggests that he impersonate Traft and the building of the fence soon begins. But Travis is opposed by Slinger Dunn (Crabbe) and his family, whose small ranch will suffer from the division of the land. A romance between Travis and Slinger's sister, Paula (Katherine DeMille), paves the way for a meeting of the minds, however, and Slinger switches sides completely upon learning that Travis is a Texas Ranger in disguise. An in-house production (as opposed to Harry Sherman's Hopalong Cassidy Westerns), Drift Fence was the closest Paramount came to a B-Western in the mid-'30s. Zane Grey's original novel was published in 1932.

To make matters worse, Bull's plainspoken manner earns him an enemy in the wealthy owner of a nearby construction camp.

Mrs. Grant
Hildy Johnson, repórter de jornal, é noivo de Peggy Grant e planeja se mudar para Nova York para um emprego em publicidade com salário maior. A sala de imprensa do tribunal está cheia de repórteres mambembes que inventam histórias tanto quanto as escrevem. Todos estão aguardando para cobrir o enforcamento de Earl Williams. Quando Williams escapa do inepto xerife, Hildy aproveita a oportunidade usando seus 260 dólares da lua de mel para subornar um insider e obter um "furo" sobre a fuga. No entanto, Walter Burns, editor do Post, propositadamente demora para reembolsar Hildy da despesa, na esperança de que ele fique cobrindo a história. Conseguir uma grande matéria parece possível quando Hildy tromba com o confuso fugitivo Williams e o esconde em uma mesa roll-top na sala de imprensa. Burns chega do jornal para ajudar. A questão é, eles poderão manter o paradeiro de Williams em segredo o tempo suficiente para dar o furo, especialmente com o xerife e outros repórteres zanzando ao redor?

Woman Trap
Mrs. Malone
In Woman Trap, Hal Skelly is hard-bitten police sergeant Dan Malone, whose mission in life is to rid his community of gangsters. The revelation that Dan's own brother Ray (Chester Morris) is the secret head of all local criminal activities does not weaken Dan's resolve in the least.

Mankiewicz, presumably on a dare, makes a brief appearance as a crime reporter.
