Wealthy socialite Christopher West weds reporter Crick O'Bannon as part of a bet. When Crick learns the truth, he writes a vengeful story about his wife's betrayal, prompting the family patriarch to step in and insist the couple maintain the façade. As the two clash over class, loyalty, and Chris's jealousy of nightclub singer Bells Browne, both must reckon with feelings they never expected. © 1939 Universal Studios. All Rights Reserved.
