Helen Bauer (Bette Davis) is a glamorous, successful, headstrong, and very liberated New York graphic artist with modern ideas about romance. She is involved with Don Peterson (Gene Raymond) but is not prepared to sacrifice her independence by entering into matrimony. The two agree to wed only to pacify Helen's conventional immigrant father Adolphe (Alphonse Ethier), whose Old World views spur him to condemn their affair. They form a business partnership, but financial problems at their advertising agency put a strain on the marriage and Don begins seeing Peggy Smith (Kay Strozzi), one of his married clients. Convinced it was marriage that disrupted their relationship, Helen suggests they live apart but remain lovers. When Don discovers Helen is dating his business rival, playboy Nick Malvyn (Monroe Owsley), he returns to Peggy, but in reality his heart belongs to his wife. Agreeing their love will help their marriage survive its problems, the two reconcile and settle into domestic bliss.

Maladivement jalouse de son mari Marcel, Marguerite Desnoyers décide de le tromper avec « le premier homme qui passe », en l'occurrence le chanteur-vedette qui se produit à l'hôtel. L'ayant reçu dans l'obscurité, elle ne peut se rendre compte que le crooner est noir de peau. Neuf mois plus tard, naît un enfant de couleur et donc forcément adultérin. Mais, le mari s'étant découvert une puissante fibre paternelle, ne peut admettre une telle situation et, ayant évité que sa femme voie l'enfant, il va froidement, à l'Assistance publique, l'échanger pour un bébé blanc.
