The Show-Off is a 1934 American comedy film directed by Charles Reisner and starring Spencer Tracy, Madge Evans and Henry Wadsworth.
It is notable for being the first movie Tracy made for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer; he was on loan-out from Fox at the time and later moved to MGM.
He gets fired by his boss Preston for making a wild offer on a piece of land, overstepping his authority by far.
Aubrey runs into her brother Joe, an inventor whose rust-prevention idea has received a firm offer of $5,000.
Everybody's fed up with Aubrey, but suddenly Joe rushes home to say the company's changed its mind, offering him $50,000 plus 20%.
