Easy-going and free-thinking Robert Ames falls in love with wealthy socialite Mary Astor. Her stuffy father refuses to grant permission for the marriage unless he agrees to work for him in the banking business. He talks things over with Astor's sister Ann Harding, whose point of view is closer to his than Mary's will ever be. He begins to doubt his upcoming marriage, while falling in love with Ann. Snappy dialogue, realistic characters and some jabs at high society living make this a winner.
