What happens

Night Nurse is a 1931 American pre-Code crime tragedy mystery film produced and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, directed by William A. Wellman, and starring Barbara Stanwyck, Ben Lyon, Joan Blondell, and Clark Gable. It is based on the 1930 novel of the same name by Dora Macy, the pen name of Grace Perkins. The film was considered risqué at the time of its release, particularly due to the scenes in which Stanwyck and Blondell are shown in their lingerie. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
