Synopsis

To avoid marrying the elderly suitor whom her aunt has chosen for her, young socialite Ivis Van Astor decides to hire Horatio Worthington to pose as her husband. Ivis also hopes that as a "married woman" she will pique the romance interest of Norman Kent, who perceives her as a sweet young thing. Ivis and her hired husband go to Newport where she begins to flirt with Norman, who discovers her ruse and decides to teach her a lesson. He stages a duel over Ivis with Horatio and pretends to die. Once Ivis is properly chagrined, Norman "recovers," Ivis' aunt falls in love with Horatio and all ends happily.
