About this listen
A great building boom spread across America in the 1920s and the Fawcett Construction Company of New York has many projects in the pipeline.
Carol Berkley, private secretary to the company's president, keeps track of them all and is particularly concerned about the lack of progress in a building out west. When two men who appear to have something to do with the project arrive to talk to her boss, she overhears them discussing plans to swindle the company. Their scheme is to share the spoils with the project's engineer, Philip Duskin.
Carol takes notes of their conversation but before she can relay them, Mr. Fawcett is taken ill. He assigns Carol the task of overseeing the much-delayed building and ferreting out the issues that threaten the imminent deadlines. Instead of her long-postponed vacation, Carol finds herself heading west to confront the incompetent - and possibly corrupt—Duskin.
