Emily falls in love with Oliver Browning, but her aunt dismisses him as a nobody and a fortune hunter. Emily's wealthy married cousin, Rosamonde Vallant, always trying to keep up with the latest fads, gives a party in honor of Professor Syle, a distinguished radical who lectures her guests in "parlor Bolshevism," then takes them to Greenwich Village to meet his comrades. Emily attends the gathering, as does Aunt Carmen, who later invites the Bohemians to her home. There, overindulging in vodka, they become wild and disorderly. Oliver arrives just in time, and, with the servants' help, gets the guests under control. Eventually Emily marries Oliver, and society girl Vera Ballymore marries Professor Syle, launching him into a successful career as a lecturer in polite circles. Written by AFI See less
