Willoughby Quimby, a divorced American in Paris,
receives a wire from his ex-wife informing him that his daughter, Elisabeth,
will soon arrive in France on a visit. Anticipating a prim and proper
young lady, Will gives up his mistress and dry martinis, but he needn't have
bothered, for Elisabeth is in search of a wild time.
She quickly
becomes involved with a French artist and considers entering into a
companionate marriage with him. Freddie Fletcher, Will's boon drinking
companion, tries to keep Elisabeth away from the artist and is soundly
drubbed for his troubles. Elisabeth is at first sympathetic to Freddie
and later loving, eventually returning with him to the United States.
Will again takes up residence at his old place in Harry's American Bar. |
