 On Thursday, September 28, 1939, Robert L. Buckner filed a  plagiarism suit demanding an injunction against exhibition of the  film, "Midnight," and an accounting and damages, in the U.S. Federal  Court, against Paramount Pictures, Inc. and Charles Beahan.  Plaintiff (Buckner)claims that in 1933 he and Beahan wrote a play  entitled, "Dearly Beloved," and delivered a manuscript to Paramount.  The complaint charges Paramount with infringing the play in the  picture, "Midnight," and states that Beahan is named a defendant  because he refuses to join the suit as a plaintiff.
