Alison is owner and successful manager of an automobile factory. She also has a good relation to her employees - especially the male ones, which she is known to invite to her bed for some time and then dump quickly. Only the inventor Jim Thorne refuses her offers - will she fire or marry him?—Tom Zoerner <[email protected]>

The highly motivated owner of a car company, Alison Drake (Ruth Chatterton), puts up a businesslike facade, but she frequently cuts loose by casually dating men both in her employ and otherwise.

While Jim initially turns away Alison's advances, he eventually falls for her, but can their burgeoning romance work in the long run?—FilmsNow
