Synopsis
Patricia Brown, a designer for an exclusive dressmaking concern, wants to marry John Jones and at the same time keep her well-paying position. Although John has set ideas about woman's place being in the home and is against secret weddings, his code of ethics is forgotten when Patricia persuades him to marry and keep separate homes. All goes well until Patricia meets Renault, the owner of the firm, who has come to the United States for the first time; finding her ideas and personality to his liking, he offers her a trip to Europe to further her design techniques. When John is forced to act as butler at a dinner party given for Renault, Patricia decides to give up her job; but when the factory experiences a crisis, she changes her mind. After bidding her farewell, John comes across her sketches of women's fashions, shows them to the officials, and as a result wins a vacation; Patricia meanwhile has decided to return to him.
