A 50-year-old married man goes with his wife and son to a nightclub in a fancy hotel in Detroit. He meets a gold-digger there, singing the theme song of the picture, and eventually ends up going out with her on a subsequent occasion and falls in love with her. His wife finally finds out and this leads to her leaving him and getting a divorce in Paris. He is married to the gold-digger but finds life with her and her "jazz friends" to be too much for him. He begins to long for his old wife when he finds her in a nightclub with another man and becomes jealous.
The film survives complete. It was transferred on to 16mm film by Associated Artists Productions in 1966 and shown on television. A 16mm copy is housed at the Wisconsin Center for Film & Theater Research.[1] It is also preserved in the Library of Congress collection.[2]
