Capricious Billie Billings determines to marry bashful bachelor Senator Newton of Nevada and succeeds. She discovers on her honeymoon that her husband's secretary "Smith" is actually a woman. When the senator refuses to heed his wife's demands to fire Smith, Billie flirts with a French count and runs away with him to a country inn. The count gets drunk and Billie insists on separate rooms. Billie's friend Dr. Wise arrives at the inn with Smith, her husband and twin children, and Senator Newton. Smith assuages Billie's jealousy and then leaves the senator and his wife alone. The reunited couple depart for a second honeymoon.

Notes
Exteriors for the film were shot in Washington, D.C. and Chevy Chase, MD. While one contemporary review cites Schenck as the film's producer, other reviews cite Emerson and Loos as the producers. Although most reviews do not mention the stage play Information Please as the source of the story, according to Moving Picture World, Loos and Emerson "acknowledge" the play in the film. The copyright entry states that Loos and Emerson "adapted" the play, but does not credit Cowl and Murfin as authors.
