Synopsis

When his wife Angelica decides that she cannot love her husband unless her women friends are chasing after him, Reggie Irving sends scented love letters to himself to make Angelica jealous. That ploy failing, Reggie secures the aid of Polly Hathaway, known as the Town Tattler, to print risque items in her column about him. Still failing to intrigue his wife, Reggie arranges to meet Polly in a hotel room as part of a plan to trick Angelica into discovering them. Complications arise when Nita Leslie insists upon accompanying them, and Nita's husband Fred shows up at the hotel, along with Angelica and the house detective. After Fred is placated, Reggie finally succeeds in convincing Angelica that he is indeed a lady-killer.
