A young flapper tricks her childhood sweetheart into marrying her. He really loves another woman, but didn't marry her for fear the marriage would end in divorce, like his parents'. Complications ensue.
Although the message is ridiculous (it is better to kill yourself than to divorce your spouse) this soapy film is definitely worth seeing for the performances of the three leads. Clara Bow is absolutely delightful - at her coquettish flapper best. This is one of her few roles that does have a tragic conclusion. Cary Grant and Esther Ralston are also quite good.
Another interesting item about this film: A young Hedda Hopper plays a supporting role, years before she became the gossip queen of Hollywood.
