A woman raises
her son Ted (Wayne Morris) to be a good loser, in effect creating a weakling who
never asserts himself. Even after marrying his childhood sweetheart Barbara
(Priscilla Lane) and assuming family obligations, Ted cannot bring himself to
fight for respect. The worm finally turns when Barbara starts stepping out on
her Milquetoast husband, who then turns out not to be so passive after all. All
comes full circle in this slyly symmetrical romantic comedy, with the final
scene neatly skewering the complications set up in the opening reel
