Wealthy Alice Bond, dissatisfied with her dull fiancé Marshall Winkler, discards him in favor of Michael Stevens. To make certain that her new beau will be acceptable to her parents, Alice contrives to have Michael enter a mayoral campaign. As election day draws close, criminals complicate matters.[1]
In a contemporary review for The New York Times, critic A. H. Weiler called the film "a story which barely has an affinity for its title" and wrote: "Flattery being specious at best and subject to change at a moment's notice, the Warner's dissertation on the subject in 'Always a Bride' ... falls short of its expected effect. Put the film down as comedy, but also as an oft-told tale which tends toward the dreary side."[2]
