The Floor Below
About The Floor Below
Patricia O'Rourke, a copy girl at the Sentinel, nearly loses her job after a prank on Stubbs. The managing editor gives her one more assignment: connect the Hope Mission, run by millionaire Hunter Mason and his secretary Monty Latham, to a run of robberies. Hunter finds her in his office, takes her for a crook, and brings her home for his mother to reform. The police later clear her. She quits the paper and marries him.
