Summary
The tempestuous night that engulfs Teddy Gloucester, a dazzling fixture of the Jazz Age's 'nice people' set, serves as a crucible for the era's brittle moral fabric. Seeking refuge from a storm in a secluded farmhouse, Teddy finds herself in the compromising company of the inebriated Scotty. A fortuitous intervention by the enigmatic stranger, Billy Wade, spares her from Scotty's unwelcome advances, yet it cannot avert the ensuing social catastrophe. Discovered alone with Scotty by her father the following morning, Teddy's reputation is irrevocably tarnished, a scarlet letter branded by the very society she once effortlessly charmed. Reeling from the ostracization and the stinging rebukes of her erstwhile companions, Teddy, in a poignant renunciation of her former life, acquiesces to a domestic future, embracing the unexpected solace of a traditional existence as Billy's wife, a profound transformation from flapper to homemaker.
Synopsis
Teddy Gloucester, one of the group of jazz age "nice people," is caught in a farmhouse during a storm with her intoxicated companion, Scotty. A stranger (Billy Wade) also seeking shelter saves her from Scotty's unwelcome attentions but not from the scandal which results from her father's discovery of her and Scotty--alone--the next morning. Hurt by the snubbing she receives from her friends, Teddy settles down and agrees to become an old-fashioned wife to Billy.
