"Libeled Lady" is a 1936 screwball comedy film directed by Jack Conway. The film boasts an impressive cast, including Jean Harlow, William Powell, Myrna Loy, and Spencer Tracy.

The plot revolves around a major newspaper that prints a false and damaging story about wealthy socialite Connie Allenbury (Myrna Loy). To avoid a costly libel lawsuit, the paper's editor, Warren Haggerty (Spencer Tracy), devises an elaborate scheme. He enlists the help of his long-suffering fiancée, Gladys Benton (Jean Harlow), and his friend and former reporter, Bill Chandler (William Powell).

Bill is tasked with wooing Connie to create a scandal that would discredit her and nullify her lawsuit. However, things don't go as planned when Bill genuinely falls for Connie, and she reciprocates his feelings. Meanwhile, Gladys, pretending to be Bill's wife for the ruse, grows increasingly frustrated with the situation, leading to a series of comedic misunderstandings and complications.

As the elaborate plot unravels, relationships are tested, and true feelings come to the surface, leading to a humorous and satisfying resolution. "Libeled Lady" is celebrated for its witty dialogue, strong performances, and the chemistry between its leading actors.
