Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Cynthia Warren, independently wealthy through her ability as an illustrator and poster artist, rebels against the premise that every woman is destined for matrimony and motherhood, and decides she has as much right as a man to play around sans benefit of marriage. So, leaving behind steady-but-dull Randolph Morgan (who seems to be the primary buyer of her 'art' and income,) she heads for Paris. The New York harbor is barely out of sight before she falls into the arms of a slick from England,William Lawton, who turns out to be something of a rotter who already has a wife, and Cynthia's liberal creed only stretches so far. In Paris, she hooks up with a Prince, who is a prince of a fellow and never strays far from his mother's side, but Lawton shows up again and makes some unwanted advances and the Prince comes to her aid, and Lawton ends up apparently somewhat dead when the Prince tosses him out a window, but Cynthia takes the rap as she feels it wouldn't be nice to separate a boy from his mother. Then, Randolph shows up. And Lawton shows up...again.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Randy tells Cynthia that he didn't attend her farewell cocktail party because he didn't have any Flit, and wouldn't go without it. Flit was a brand of insecticide invented in 1923 and used mainly for flies and mosquitoes. Randy is implying that Cynthia's friends are a bunch of bar flies. See more » |
| Goofs | The ship as depicted arriving in port in England has a different paint pattern on its funnels than the one shown crossing the Atlantic earlier. And, the final shot of the ship docking, the ship has four funnels - not the three in all the other previous shots. See more » |
