While Jane and Jim Parker witness the divorce proceedings of Jane's parents, the George Reeds, they resolve that such a disaster will never occur in their happy lives. But when Jim achieves success in Reed's company, he becomes increasingly interested in his new fast friends, especially vamp Gloria Gayne; and he asks Jane for a divorce. At Jane's request, Reed fires his son-in-law, and Jim finds himself deserted by his friends. He returns home, repentant, to his forgiving wife.—AFI
