‎That Other Woman Original screenplay for the 1942 film‎

Hoping to trap her boss into marriage Emily begins sending "mash notes" to Henry purportedly from a mysterious female admirer.

Poor Henry convinced that Ralph is the gangster who's been threatening him with bodily harm takes off for parts unknown. Our heroine spends the rest of the picture chasing Henry until he finally catches her Hal Erickson Rovi.
