Synopsis
Kingdon Challoner cannot get his fiancée Eulalie Morgan, a member of the "Anti-Kiss Cult," to kiss him, so at a dinner party, he asks playboy Bruce Sands for advice. They arrange for Sands to steal a kiss from Eulalie in the dark, quickly leave, and have Kingdon take his place. Eulalie is aroused by the kiss, but she realizes it could not have been from Kingdon. When she discovers that it was Bruce, she announces that she is in love, and breaks her engagement with Kingdon, who leaves to get his pistol. Eulalie goes to Bruce's house to warn him, discovers a woman in bed and mistakenly assumes that she is Bruce's lover, whereas she is really his sister. Kingdon arrives, Bruce pacifies him, and advises him on the proper way to kiss Eulalie. The couple are reconciled while Sands consoles himself with thoughts of the discomforts of married life and the joys of being single.
