Synopsis
Wealthy Julia Seton meets Johnny Case at Lake Placid and takes him home, introducing him to her family as her future husband. A poor, struggling young lawyer, Johnny is greeted with kindly tolerance by old Seton and his children, Linda and Ned. Seton finally agrees to Julia's plans and arranges an engagement party; but Linda gives a party of her own at which Nick and Susan Potter are the honored guests. Johnny reveals that he has invested in the stock market and plans to quit work after marriage. When Seton learns of this announcement, he is furious, but Linda, who is taken with Johnny, supports him. Johnny and Julia separate, and he plans to go to Europe with Nick and Susan, but he changes his mind and agrees to work for 3 years before going on holiday. However, he revolts at the idea of Seton's planning his life, and Linda, pleased by his assertion of personal freedom, joins him aboard the steamer.
