Synopsis
To cure their flirtatious husbands of consorting with flappers, three wives--Susan Martin, Ethel Drake, and Kitty Ladd--arrange with three college boys--Henry Winton, Oscar, and Joe Valley--to flirt with them at a house party. Joe Valley, who poses as a hot-blooded Spaniard, is vamped by Ginsberg in female attire, and Oscar, a bashful Swede, uses caveman methods when aroused. During a rehearsal of the party, the three husbands arrive, followed by their flapper friends, leading to comic complications that are resolved.
