Plot: William Wellman's NIGHT NURSE is a sassy, unsentimental comedy about a private pediatric nurse named Lora Hart (Barbara Stanwyck) who, after applying as an apprentice in a family home, discovers there is a plot afoot to starve her two rich, fat, young charges to death. The culprit is the family’s chauffeur, Nick (Clark Gable), a villain who plans to marry the kids' dissolute mother and make off with their trust fund. It's then up Hart, her wisecracking nurse friend Maloney (Joan Blondell), and her bootlegger beau Mortie (Ben Lyon) to save them. Lyon is both dashing and bumbling as Mortie, who hopes to help Lora, and Charlie Winninger is notable as Dr. Arthur Bell, the villainous head of the hospital. Director Wellman keeps the jokes humming along with the peril.
