BOMBSHELL.

Lola Burns (Jean Harlow) is angry with her studio publicist E.J. "Space" Hanlon (Lee Tracy), who feeds the press with endless stories about her greatness. Burns tries to adopt a baby, but Hanlon, who secretly loves her, thwarts all her plans. Burns decides she can't stand any more of such a life, and flees. She meets wealthy and romantic Gifford Middleton (Franchot Tone), who hates the movies and has never heard about Burns and her bad press.
