What happens
Libeled Lady is a 1936 American screwball comedy film starring Jean Harlow, William Powell, Myrna Loy, and Spencer Tracy.

This was the fifth of fourteen films in which Powell and Loy were teamed, inspired by their success in the Thin Man series. Libeled Lady was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture. The film was remade in 1946 as Easy to Wed with Esther Williams, Van Johnson, and Lucille Ball. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
