Nothing But the Truth (1941) Bob Hope, Paulette Goddard, Edward Arnold

Gwen Saunders (Paulette Goddard) teams up with her uncle s employee, Steve Bennett (Bob Hope), in an attempt to double her 10, 000 investment in the family firm. If she can reach the 20, 000 mark, her uncle T. T. Ralston (Edward Arnold) will match the figure. Steve bets that if he can spend an entire day without telling a lie, Ralston and his business partners must double Gwen s money. Bennett then earns the enmity of everyone involved in his attempt to win the bet.
