The Bride Came C.O.D.

Ten dollars a pound is the going rate for freight, so charter pilot Steve Collins figures he's owed $1,150, cash on delivery. His cargo is Joan Winfield, an heiress whose elopement with a musician is kiboshed when Steve kidnaps her so he can fly Joan to her irate father. But then Joan finds a parachute. Comedy comes from a mother lode of sources in the screwball farce headline by the ebullient pairing of James Cagney and Bette Davis, scripted by Julius J. and Philip G. Epstein.
