Flappers Joan Crawford, Anita Page and Dorothy Sebastian struggle to reconcile their freewheeling love lives with their desire for husbands. Crawford falls for millionaire Johnny Mack Brown, only to watch as he is stolen away by Anita after Johnny has second thoughts about her lifestyle. Of course, he doesn't know about Anita, leading to a showdown with Joan after a big party for the ending. Meanwhile, her other friend Dorothy gets married, but her husband resents her past leading to more problems when the old "crowd" show up at their house one day. Encapsulates the inevitable day of reckoning at the end of a decade of questionable morals, but too obvious and melodramatic to be more than a curiosity today.
