Hard to Get (1938)

His heart said "Go grab her" but experience said, "Come kiss me" but her lips said "I'm hard to get".

When spoiled young heiress Maggie Richards tries to charge some gasoline at an auto camp run by Bill Davis, he makes her work out her bill by making beds. Resolving to get even, she pretends to have forgiven him, and sends him to her father to get financing for a plan Bill has. What happens next was not part of her original revenge plan.
