Synopsis
Elliott Crane and his lover, Myra Spaulding, confront his wife Doris and ask that she divorce Elliott. Doris agrees on condition they find her a replacement husband. During a weekend party at the Cranes' oceanside home, Edith Hayes and Cecily Prentiss, Doris' worldly friends, congratulate her on her scheme to keep her husband. Elliott and Myra bring two suitors to meet Doris, Carlos Almirante and Dr. Alexander Garrison. Carlos immediately tries to romance Doris, who is not interested in either man. Realizing that neither man will inspire Elliott's jealousy, Doris arranges for her friend, Bruce King, to come to the house to woo her. Bruce shows up and pretends to be a drunk who has lost his way. Myra and Elliott invite him in, and he becomes the life of the party. After Elliott finds Bruce and Doris alone together several times and sees them kissing, he becomes jealous, but so does Myra, who has discovered that Bruce is a multi-millionaire. Meanwhile, Cicely and Edith entertain Carlos and Alexander. Finally, all the guests leave, including Bruce, who takes Myra with him. Elliott apologizes to Doris for his affair, but she realizes that she has fallen in love with Bruce, and rushes off to stop him from sailing. Elliott follows and gets to the boat before Doris because her car has a flat tire. Elliott rushes to Bruce's cabin hoping to find Doris, but instead finds Myra, who has been abandoned by Bruce. The ship sets sail with Elliot and Myra aboard, while ashore, Bruce proposes to Doris.

Notes
The cast and plot summary are based on a studio screen continuity. Although copyright records credit James Durkin with the character of "Mr. Weston," CBCS records credit Montague Shaw. One contemporary source calls Harry Segall's play Bachelor Wife. International Photographer credits Martin Brown as a co-adaptor with credited writer Daniel Evans. The exact nature of his contribution, if any, has not been confirmed.
