Card shark Babe Stewart (Clark Gable) has a sweet set-up shaking down swells in the big city but a dogged detective forces him to head for the hills in a backwater where he meets librarian Connie (Carole Lombard). The bored Connie falls for Babe who sees her as an asset to his card scam and in an impetuous moment marry. Once Connie is up to speed she rejects the game plan but a smittem Babe makes an effort to reform.
No Man of Her Own is the only Gable Lombard feature they ever starred in together ( they appeared as minor players in silent films) and well before they became an item. Yet it adds to the interest in this semi-interesting tale of the conniving Gable and the aggresive librarian Lombard in the converation and clinches that in reality would lead them down the aisle a few years later.
Gable is taking his first steps into superstardom at this point of his career and while the power and charisma of his personality is well in evidence it is Lombard who owns the picture with her clear headed sincerity and level headed altruism.
