During a house party at the Long Island home of the couple's friends The Ives, Alice meets Terence O'Keefe (Ellis), an Irish polo playing playboy who is visiting the United States to buy horses for the British Army.

Mary Vantyne et son mari Andrew sont invités chez une vieille amie de Mary, Isabelle Lenwright, qui contrairement à Mary a épousé un homme riche. Lorsque Mary entend certains invités se moquer de son apparence, elle décide d'avoir une nouvelle garde-robe, et bientôt tout le monde est étonné par Mary et ses belles robes. Ces changements font qu'elle est admirée par Fred Lenwright, le fils de son amie, mais aussi par le peu scrupuleux millionnaire Ralph Blake. Face à des factures de plus en plus élevées, Mary se trouve dans une position compromettante jusqu'à ce que Blake lui montre un reçu attestant le paiement de ces factures. De plus, Lenwright engage un détective pour enquêter sur le vol de 3 000 $, dont Fred se trouve accusé. Puis Andrew découvre les factures payées par Blake, et ce dernier prétend que Fred a volé cet argent pour payer les factures de Mary.

As summarized in a film publication, Aunt Abigail (Chapman) and her adopted daughter Sally (Eddy) are threatened with the loss of their home through foreclosure of a mortgage held by Solon Hammerhead (Mong). The only outlets available are either for Abigail to marry the old villain Salon or for Sally to marry his mean, scheming son Bruce (Housman). To prevent Aunt Abigail from losing her home, Sally is about to agree to marry the son, even though she loves the hired hand Joel (Butler). She has only a few days to decide before the mortgage falls due. That night former jockey Tim Vail breaks into the home looking for food, and sweet Aunt Abigail gives him a job on the farm. Tim discovers that Abigail's horse "Cold Molasses" is a born racer, and Tim and Joel get permission to train the horse for the big $3000 race at the County Fair, which takes place the day the mortgage comes due. The Hammerheads, discovering that the horse would likely beat their entry, attempt to keep her out of the race by setting fire to the barn, but Tim rescues the horse. The big race starts with Cold Molasses in the lead. At the last second the Hammerhead horse passes her and it looks like the house will be gone, but then the Hammerhead entry is disqualified for foul play. The winnings pay off the mortgage, Joel and Sally are happy, and even Aunt Abigail finds a suitor.

Cameron James, a new student at Padua High School in the Seattle area, becomes instantly smitten with popular sophomore Bianca Stratford. Geeky Michael Eckman warns him that Bianca is vapid and conceited, and that her overprotective father does not allow Bianca or her older sister, the shrewish Kat, to date. Kat, a senior, is accepted to Sarah Lawrence College in New York, but her father, Walter, wants her to stay close to home. Bianca wishes to date affluent senior Joey Donner, but Walter, an obstetrician worrisome of teenage pregnancy, will not allow his daughters to date until they graduate. Frustrated by Bianca's insistence and Kat's rebelliousness, Walter declares that Bianca may date only when Kat does, knowing that Kat's antisocial attitude makes this unlikely.
