Summary
In the effervescent landscape of 1920s domesticity, Dulcy Smith emerges as a kinetic force of misguided benevolence. Constance Talmadge portrays the titular protagonist, a woman whose intellectual reach is frequently eclipsed by her enthusiasm for social engineering. When her husband, Gordon, finds himself entangled in a high-stakes business negotiation, Dulcy decides to steer the ship of his fortunes through the treacherous waters of a weekend dinner party. What follows is a sublime comedy of errors, characterized by a parade of eccentric guests and a labyrinth of conversational non-sequiturs. Dulcy’s penchant for 'bromides'—platitudes that she wields like blunt instruments—serves to derail the very deals she seeks to cement. However, through a series of fortuitous mishaps and a sheer refusal to acknowledge defeat, she inadvertently maneuvers the corporate titans into a corner, ultimately securing a financial triumph that far exceeds Gordon's original aspirations. It is a narrative that interrogates the thin line between social incompetence and accidental genius, set against the backdrop of Jazz Age opulence.
Synopsis
Dulcy (Constance Talmadge), a devoted but scatterbrained bride, tries to improve her absent husband's finances by inviting two of his business prospects to dinner. Though at first thoroughly confusing the deal, she does get her husband a bigger share than he bargained for.
