I Like Your Nerve

I Like Your Nerve is a 1931 American romantic comedy film directed by William C. McGann, starring Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. and Loretta Young. Boris Karloff has a small role.

To keep Larry from disrupting the arrangement, Pacheco has his butler Luigi Boris Karloff arrange Dianes kidnapping to Lattimers country estate. Larry rescues Diane and leaves her in the care of his friend, Archie Lester Claud Allister. Then he telephones a newspaper to report his ransom demand of 200,000. Citizens demand Pacheco pay the sum, but Larry points out that Dianes fiance is the only person in the country with access to that much money. Lattimer refuses at first, but soon caves in to the outrage. Larry collects the money at the arranged dropoff point and later presents it to Pacheco, who then cancels Dianes engagement to Lattimer.
