Getting Gertie's Garter 1945
In the field of science, Ken (Dennis O’Keefe) is a genius, but not when it comes to women. When he is subpoenaed to testify in court about his one-time purchase of an expensively jeweled garter for a glamorous former girl friend, Gertie (Marie McDonald), he is seized with fear and dismay. You see, he has just been elected into the Society of Scientific Research and he shudders that the Society and his wife, Patty (Sheila Ryan), will find out about Gertie. Ken pulls himself together and goes to work but his efforts to retrieve the garter lead him and Gertie into one compromising situation after another. The climax comes when all the principals become involved in a hilarious hayloft mixup. Finally, Gertie tires of it all and tells the real innocent story and the entire scramble is resolved to everyone’s satisfaction.
