The story's problems begin with money, centering on a love triangle involving Kay Johnson as “Cynthia,” who’s captivated by Conrad Nagel’s married character, “Roger.” Roger, however, is already committed to his friend, “Marcia” (Julia Faye). It becomes clear that Cynthia values wealth more than affection. Facing potential issues regarding her inheritance, she enters into an agreement to exchange husbands for a sum of $200,000. Unfortunately, the money isn’t accessible quickly enough, forcing her into a temporary arrangement with “Derk” (Charles Bickford), a man awaiting execution who is promised funds for his sister upon his death. Then, a complication arises: the police have arrested an innocent person! Her new husband is freed from custody, and Cynthia unexpectedly finds herself married. Fortunately, he isn’t motivated by money, but she'll require his assistance to protect her financial assets. He declines to live with her, so she must adapt to his lifestyle and that of his sister “Katie” (Muriel McCormac), which lacks luxury. The question is whether they can survive a week without conflict—whether deliberate or caused by her terrible cooking. While the storyline isn’t particularly surprising, the characters are well-developed, and the humor functions effectively, especially later in the film when she's forced to live a simpler existence. The movie does feel stretched out; once the basic premise is understood and the comedic element established, it occasionally loses momentum. Nevertheless, there’s an underlying sense that someone will ultimately do what’s right.
