Ann Barton, the daughter of a once-wealthy family, is forced to clerk at the cigar counter of a village hotel, where she meets James McDonald, a breezy, handsome salesman. Ann is adopted by an aristocratic aunt, who disapproves of James's manners and breaks up Ann's relationship with him. Ann soon revenges herself on her aunt by placing both her aunt and herself in compromising positions.

Mary Lucille Smith, a schoolgirl who elopes with John Chiverick, gets her marriage annulled by her father, and later pretends to be a widow to romance another man, Larry McLeod, leading to chaotic mix-ups and hidden identities at a party where Chiverick's new wife also shows up, all about mistaken identities, secret pasts, and comedic marital mishaps.
