A woman in a happy marriage decides it's too good to be true so starts seeing a psychiatrist. She meets kooky piano player Burgess Meredith and she falls for his charming if naive worldview. When her husband finds out he give her an easy divorce. However, when she gets engaged to Meredith her now ex-husband tries to win her back by flirting with his secretary to make her jealous. Incredibly, it works. Not the best from Lubitsch, the setting is rather static and the plot melodramatic, but even lesser Lubitsch has its moments.
