Synopsis

An heiress can receive her income only by marrying a man approved by her aunts. Furious at the restriction, she hires a stranger to create a scandal, but the planned embarrassment becomes an unexpected romance.

Inspirations

The comedy adapts Sam Janney's play and revisits material filmed silently as Ladies at Play. The inheritance's conditions turn family respectability into the obstacle the heroine deliberately attacks.
