Plot
Storyline
A book publisher finds his business floundering, which prompts his socially ambitious wife to desert him for a society millionaire, leaving him with their young son. The publisher's fortunes improve dramatically, however, when a best-selling romance novelist decides to publish her new book with his firm. In the meantime, his ex-wife has married the millionaire, and she and her new mother-in-law come up with a plan to sue her ex-husband for custody of the boy.
This upscale potboiler concerns the principled publisher Robert Lenhart (Paul Lukas), who refuses to maximize profits by releasing trashy but popular books. Robert's spoiled wife Eve (Helen Vinson) resents her allowance being cut, and leaves him to marry her wealthy lover Felix (Ralph Forbes). More trouble comes from Felix's grasping mother Emma (May Robson), who desperately wants a grandchild. Emma sues for custody of Robert and Eve's son Bill (David Holt) by misrepresenting Robert's relationship with his executive secretary Maxine (Madge Evans). The main point of contention is a 'scandalous' pillow fight Emma witnessed between Maxine and Robert. It all ends up in a desperate court battle.
