Party Husband plot
When Laura Duell and Jay Hogarth got married, both agreed to a modern marriage, in which each could maintain his and her own identity. After a romantic honeymoon, the couple settles in New York. Laura then accepts a job as a reader for a publishing house. She ignores her mother's warnings, who sees her marriage fail when her daughter neglects her household chores. Laura and Jay's worldly ideas also include friendships with the opposite sex. Soon Laura is working late with her publisher Horace Purcell, who falls in love with her. Meanwhile, radio producer Jay spends late nights with the beautiful and pushy writer Bee Canfield.
