Synopsis by Janiss Garza

Only a few months earlier Clara Bow had been seen in Wings. The same with Charles "Buddy" Rogers -- in fact, his one film between Wings and this film was My Best Girl with future wife Mary Pickford. But apparently Paramount wasn't too concerned with keeping up this level of quality for its stars; Get Your Man is mildly entertaining filler, nothing more, nothing less. Lively American Nancy Worthington (Bow) becomes friendly with charming Frenchman Robert de Bellecontre (Rogers) at a wax museum -- so friendly that the place closes, and they don't realize it until the doors are locked. Robert has been engaged, at his family's request, to the daughter (Josephine Dunn) of a duke since they were both children. After meeting Nancy, Robert wishes he could break off the engagement, but it's Nancy who does the job by using a flirtation with the girl's father, the Duke de Villeneuve (Harvey Clarke). Only Bow's vivacity keeps this film afloat.
