Lally is devastated when her parents' marriage breaks up. She determines never to marry but soon falls in love with a handsome young man who turns out to be the son of her father's mistress. This early talkie is rough in places but overall is an enjoyable hour of entertainment. Unique in the fact that Montgomery's character is not a cad in this one.
