The previous poster can't have been paying attention. Laura LaPlante's character is not a gold- digger - she works in a department store, but she falls for the boss's son when she thinks he is the chauffeur.
The shadow sequence mentioned isn't as described - she is sent to the son to be sacked for arriving late: he sees her coming and hides (to prevent her finding out he isn't the chauffeur): she knows that her immediate boss, who sent her, is on the other side of the frosted-glass- panel door: she pantomimes apologising, then puts on a bowler hat and a cigar and pretends to be the boss's son (in silhouette) forgiving her, to fool her immediate boss. Her boyfriend doesn't come into it.
I would agree that the boyfriend (Charles Delaney) isn't very good, and the film is certainly no classic: but it's enjoyable enough, the plot is quite well developed. I have to say that I found the gags added to the intertitles intrusive - the comedy lies in the situations and the characters.
