Transcription
Plot
As described in a film magazine,[3] because a firm has a policy against hiring attractive women because they quit as soon as they get married to other employees, Germaine Morris makes herself unattractive and is hired as an interior decorator. She is secretly in love with the firm's head, Gerald Gray, who has been courting Claire, the wife of one of his patrons, Thomas Fenton. Claire invites Gerald to accompany them on a yachting trip. To allay suspicions, Gerald's friend Bunny West arranges for chorus girl Chouchou Rouselle to come along with them as his pretend fiancé. When the latter is unable to go, Germaine tells Bunny that she will go instead of the chorus girl. Germaine boards as her regular self, a woman of amazing loveliness, and Gerald, Bunny, and the Fenton's all fall in love with her. After several situations, including Claire confessing to her husband that she was being courted by another man, Gerald arranges a reconciliation between the husband and wife and then proposes an arrangement between himself and Germaine so that she can become a former employee.
