Mrs. Chase is late with her appointment. The luncheon develops into a boresome affair. Both return to their respective households contented with their respective mates.

Jimmie gets alarmed when he finds himself apparently accepted, and beats a hasty retreat back home to wife and babies.
"The Charming Mrs. Chase" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Emotional Miss Vaughn" offers its own unique cult appeal.
