Therese Duverne (Viola Dana) is bored with her even-tempered husband, Edmond (Adolphe Menjou). Isabelle Fevre (Gale Henry) suggests that Edmond go to the bicycle races and stay out all night. Then she takes Therese there and introduces her to manly Petit Mathieu, one of the racers (Maurice B. Flynn). Since he has just quarreled with his sweetheart, Lea (Jetta Goudal), he is glad to have Therese's attention and offers to run away with her after he wins the six-day race. Lea, meanwhile, is spending her time with Edmond. Therese eventually decides she doesn't care for brutes like Mathieu, and Edmond gains a temper and wins his wife back. Lea and Mathieu are reunited, while Isabelle goes back to helping her own alcoholic sweetheart, Igor (Raymond Griffith), break into the movies.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director constructs a classic situational comedy, relying on the contrast of characters and a play of coincidences. He explores the worlds of marital routine and nocturnal excitement through rapid race editing and intimate interior scenes.

What lingers after the screening is a light aftertaste from the cleverly played theme of marital fidelity and false ideals. The film is a charming reminder that passion often lies in the familiar. — MovieFinder Editorial
