Cast: Melvyn Douglas, Ruth Hussey,
Ellen Drew
Jerry Marvin (Melvyn Douglas), a talented musician and composer, wallows in drunken self-pity after he is divorced by his wife Babe (Ellen Drew). Along comes new love Susan (Ruth Hussey), who rescues Jerry and provides him with fresh inspiration to complete his trumpet concerto. He performs it, it's a hit, and the jubilant Jerry and Susan plan to marry. There's just one hitch: Now Babe wants him back... and the unscrupulous ex-wife will stop at nothing to recapture her man.. Ruth and Melvyn move out of the way but it goes all over Ellen and soaks her. She then jumps up and starts yelling. Melvyn of course is none to pleased and says to her: "you little fraud". He then takes her over his knee and gives her five spanks on her behind. Ruth then interupts and says: "Gerry, a gentleman can't strike a lady, but I can". She then procedes to administer 16 quick and pretty firm hand spanks to finish things off as the scene fades away.
