The best man tries to give a humorous speech at the wedding of James Rennie and Dorothy MacKaill, but they razz him off the speech. They're going to have a modern, companionate marriage, even though Helen Ware, Miss MacKaill's mother, wonders about grandchildren, when her daughter gets a job for publisher Donald Cook. Soon he's making advances, while Dorothy Peterson goes on the make for Rennie. Can their ideals sustain a marriage in the face of weak gin and temptation? It's an open and fairly honest pre-code, even though the film-makers definitely come down on the side of the old-fashioned ways of doing things. It was a frequent result of these movies, a way to have one's cake and eat it, just like Demille's model of opulent license for six reels, and Christian redemption in the seventh. Everyone is young and attractive, and the leads become grouchier as their high talk proves no barrier to temptation. Miss Ware gets the best lines.
