Norma Shearer's last silent movie has her paroled from Joliet. She's working a hotel switchboard when she's spotted by Gwen Lee, who's working with Norma's old partner in the badger game, Lowell Sherman. After they all double-cross each other, Norma buys an expensive outfit and heads to Atlantic City, where she settles on a likely rich sucker, Johnny Mack Brown. Johnny is naive, and soon they are married and heading back to his home. But the reality is not what Norma expected. Johnny isn't rich, but poor. He's invented a new sort of cement, but it hasn't paid off yet.
Miss Shearer shows off her silent acting chops with an expressive face and some sardonic expressions. Brown is young, handsome, and has the expression of a hungry dog watching people eat roast beef. Robert Z. Leonard directs everyone ably as was his wont, and there are some very amusing titles written by Ralph Spence, who would go on to script such esteemed pictures as SH! THE OCTOPUS and DOWN ARGENTINE WAY.
