Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Corpulent middle-aged Willard Louis fancies himself God's gift to women, indulging in various affairs while his frumpy wife Irene Rich busies herself with her grown children. Following the example set by Louis, the kids indulge in their own hedonistic pleasures, leaving Rich all alone. Finally rebelling against her dissolute family, Rich walks out on them and begins a new and glamorous life for herself. This forces Louis to come to his senses and begin courting his own wife all over again. Willard Louis, one of the most popular character actors of the 1920s, died not long after the completion of this film.
