Pretty Sally Eilers, who thinks men have only one thing on their mind, decides to test her theory on stranger James Dunn, who thinks women exist only to destroy the lives of men. The odd couple end up falling in love and getting married. It's a bumpy ride, especially after she gets pregnant. Their deep mistrust of the opposite sex leads to assumptions and huge miscommunication issues. This social melodrama provides an interesting glimpse of the prevailing attitudes of its time, but of course is extremely dated today.
