Attractive socialite Joan Crawford (as Marcia) waits over two hours for dinner at seven with randy Robert Montgomery (as Sherry); then, she furiously strips off her evening wear, and hits the sheets. Ms. Crawford is comforted by gruff grandmother Edna May Oliver (as Fanny). Mr. Montgomery arrives to charm Crawford out of her bed, and into the nightclubs. While out drinking, the two encounter both potential and former romantic partners. Returning, separately, to Crawford's home, the two share a late-night snack, and decide to marry. Though happily in love, they find it difficult to change the old lifestyle...
Crawford looks very glamorous, photographed by Oliver Marsh. The noteworthy supporting cast includes soon-to-be husband Franchot Tone (as Jim), one of Crawford's suitors. In her debut appearance, young Joan Fontaine (as Caroline) plays one of Montgomery's admirers (he calls her "Old Carol"). Ms. Oliver, the most amusing, stays home and plays backgammon with Reginald Denny (as Oliver). Everyone smokes and drinks up a storm. Montgomery acts tipsy at times, but Charles Ruggles (as Edgar) plays drunk throughout. All are celebrating the end of Prohibition, no doubt.
