Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Girl from Missouri is a 1934 film directed by Jack Conway.Jean Harlow stars as Eadie, who escapes her Missouri home and her vaguely creepy stepfather, her best friend Kitty along for the ride. She lights out for the big city and gets a job as a chorus girl, but what she really wants is a rich man to marry. And she'll let nothing stand in her way, as Eadie crosses Gold Digger with The Determinator.Eadie's chorus group is hired to liven up a big party given by one Frank Cousins. Eadie worms her way into Cousins' office, puts on the charm, and is surprised when he agrees to marry her immediately. The truth of the matter is revealed when Cousins, who has suffered financial ruin, shoots himself as soon as Eadie walks out the door. Eadie doesn't let a little thing like suicide show her down, instead setting her cap for T.R. Paige (Lionel Barrymore), a wealthy industrialist whom she met at the fatal party. Paige regards Eadie with amusement but has no interest in her at all, even as she follows him from New York to Florida. In Florida she meets Paige's handsome, much more age-appropriate son Tom (Franchot Tone). Eadie switches targets from father to son, but Tom is much more interested in sex with Eadie than with putting a ring on her finger. Will Eadie finally land her rich husband?Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| The Girl From Missouri / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Cousins, who is just waiting for Eadie to leave before he can shoot himself, gives her some very expensive ruby cuff links. T.R. Paige knows this because a panicking Eadie asked him to hide them for her immediately after the gunshot. He uses this knowledge in the third act to frame her for robbery. | |

Driven to Suicide: Eadie has bad timing with her first gold-digging target, as Frank Cousins kills himself immediately after meeting her. | |

As You Know: In his one scene Eadie's obnoxious father-in-law identifies himself as her father-in-law by saying she's been a problem "ever since I married your mother." | |

Dramatic Irony | |
| The Girl From Missouri / int_ab5eea65 | comment |
Dramatic Irony: Cousins already had the gun in his hand when Eadie sashays into his office; he hurriedly sticks it back in the drawer. Eadie, noticing that he seems preoccupied, says "Were you doing something important?" | |
