Example of then-problematic dialog (paraphrased): "If my wife has another baby, I might kill myself" -- " Don't be too hasty, you might be killing an innocent man." Visuals: Man cuts in on dance to dance with the man (not the woman). Synopsis: Harry and Inez are a dance team at the Wonder Bar. Inez loves Harry, but he is in love with Liane, the wife of a wealthy business man. Al Wonder and the conductor/singer Tommy are in love with Inez.
