Publisher's Synopsis
Twenty-four hours of pure disaster, for young reporter John Winthrop First he is invited to the opera with lovely Phyllis, who utterly enchants him -- then she turns down his offer of marriage . . . in essence ruining what she, at least, had seen as a sturdy, pleasant friendship. Then he is invited to hear the will of his wealthy uncle -- and all John is left is a paltry pittance. The bitter old man obviously nursed his grudge against John's parents to his dying day.
