Synopsis
Mrs. Jones of Long Island, in her struggle for social recognition, is anxious for her son Bob to marry Alysia Potter. At a party, Bob and Alysia, under the influence of alcohol, decide to elope and go to Bowling Green, Connecticut, where Silas Meacham has begun a campaign against motion pictures. While waiting for the justice of the peace, Bob and Alysia see Polly Meacham staging "The Way to a Man's Heart." Mr. and Mrs. Jones, their daughter Hattie, and Mr. Potter arrive on the trail of the elopers and persuade them to wait 6 months before marriage. On Bob's advice Polly comes to New York and gets a place with the Ziegfeld Follies, but her debut is spoiled by stage fright. Alysia replaces her and is a success, and while Bob is trying to console Polly, Alysia announces that she is breaking the engagement so as to leave Bob and Polly free to wed.
