To cure their flirtatious husbands of consorting with flappers, three wives-- Susan Martin, Ethel Drake, and Kitty Ladd-- arrange with three college boys-- Henry Winton, Oscar, and Joe Valley-- to flirt with them at a house party. Joe Valley, who poses as a hot-blooded Spaniard, is vamped by Ginsberg in female attire, and Oscar, a bashful Swede, uses caveman methods when aroused. During a rehearsal of the party, the three husbands arrive, followed by their flapper friends, leading to comic complications.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its farce on the contrast between performed and genuine passions, relying on classic tropes of disguise and mistaken identity. It explores the era's comedic language through energetic pantomime and silent-film slapstick.

What lingers after the whirlwind of absurd entanglements is the sheer momentum of the chase, where every character becomes both hunter and prey in a drawing-room safari. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Howard Hawks
