A middle aged man falls for a younger woman and divorces his wife of over 20 years. His daughter Norma Shearer disowns him. Later, she falls in love with young Robert Montgomery. They get engaged only to find out her father and his mother are the lovers that broke up their parents' marriages. At first she wants to call it off, but after getting caught on a lake during a thunderstorm and stranded on an island she changes her mind. Very creaky early talkie featuring a giggly Shearer.
