A pre-Code romantic drama that interrogates modern attitudes toward marriage and love through the tension between a couple's unconventional cohabitation and social pressure to legitimize their bond.

Ann, a young woman with outrageously advanced ideas, has been living in sin with Dick, her lover, because of her conviction that marriage would destroy their love; but social pressure ends up paying off, so Ann and Dick get married.
