Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Shopgirl Betty Lou has designs on Cyrus Waltham, the handsome owner of the department store where she works. Waltham, though, doesn't even know Betty Lou is around. In hopes of attracting Waltham's attention, she accepts a date with his best friend, Monty, under the condition that they dine at the Ritz, where Waltham also has a dinner date that evening. Her plan works and in no time at all she and Waltham are contemplating marriage. The romance cools when a newspaper reporter mistakenly writes a story depicting Betty Lou as an unwed mother.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Elinor Glyn gave many confusing and sometimes contradictory explanations for what "It" meant, but she always said that "It" did not mean "sex appeal" necessarily and that anyone who said it did was vulgarizing her concept. Nonetheless, "It" became a euphemism for "sex appeal," which caused that pronoun to be entered into the American lexicon in the late 1920s. See more » |
| Goofs | As Waltham climbs onto the anchor, his shirt sleeve is intact. The scene cuts away to Monty and Adela in the rowboat for a brief moment; however, in the next scene, Waltham's sleeve is completely torn. See more » |
