Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Like many of Esther Ralston's late-1920s vehicles, Love and Learn is primarily an excuse to show off its star in as few clothes as possible. In love with political candidate Anthony Cowles (Lane Chandler), heroine Nancy Blair (Ralston) gets wind of the opposition's scheme to ruin Cowles' reputation. At the risk of her own good name, Nancy decides to turn the tables on the crooked politicos by framing Cowles' opponent in a compromising situation. Things don't go quite as planned, and soon several diverse people are scurrying in and out of bedrooms in various stages of undress. Future gossip columnist Hedda Hopper has a good role as Nancy's mixed-up mother.
