Johnny Downs is a wastrel. His father cuts him off and tells him to get out. When June Lang runs into him, he comes up with the idea of their getting married, and then bracing his father with an unsuitable daughter-in-law. He'll pay off, they'll split the money and go their ways. But daddy says that's Johnny's decision, and won't pay a cent. But he takes a shine to Miss Lang, and cuts a deal with her: if she can make a man of his son, he'll pay her.
It's a nice idea from a novel by Vera Brown, and a script co-written by Dorothy Davenport. There is some good if heavy-handed humor under the direction of Edward Cahn, and Downs' and Miss Lang's performances are a bit stagey. Furthermore, the ending is rushed; this is a Monogram movie, the last produced by I. E. Chadwick. However, for most of its 65 minutes, it's pleasant.
