Gary Cooper is the "Casanova" of the title, bouncing around between several women. There is the one in the small town in which he arrives by train to start the film. Then there is another one back in the big city that we learn about in a flashback. Another one pops up unexpectedly later on. He marries, or intends to marry, all three of them at one point. A baby finally forces him to make the right choice, but not until after he kidnaps it! Ludicrous story with Cooper in one of his sappiest roles.
