Synopsis

When Betty Graves breaks her engagement to David Warrington, the latter becomes involved in the problems of his married friends, Sybil and Herbert. Upon leaving her husband, Sybil entrusts her three children to Dave's care. After his three wards become ill from eating too much candy, Dave sends for Betty's father, Doctor Graves, who views this as an opportunity to reconcile his daughter and her fiancé. Arriving with his daughter in the car, the doctor promptly quarantines the house, forcing Betty and Dave to remain in proximity to each other. Soon after, Herbert arrives and suspects that Sybil is in the house, having an affair with Dave. After a series of comic entanglements and aroused suspicions, both couples are reconciled.
