Summary
In the opulent gilded cage of her father's fortune, the impressionable Margie Carr, fresh from a collegiate commencement address extolling altruism, embarks on a quixotic quest to uplift society's forgotten. Her brainchild, the 'Cheer Society,' a rather naive endeavor, sees her enlisting a motley crew of street-hardened ruffians, led by the aptly named Bubbs, as her administrative vanguard. This peculiar philanthropic venture, however, incurs the ire of her jilted suitor, Homer Dean Chadwick, who, stung by rejection, retaliates with a rival benevolent organization catering to the plight of indigent chorus girls. The stage is thus set for a comedic battle of wills and misplaced intentions, punctuated by Homer's strategic parading of a former chorine, Flossy, designed to ignite Margie's green-eyed monster. The climax arrives in a social debacle of epic proportions, a testament to the chaotic collision of disparate social strata engineered by Margie's well-meaning but ill-conceived idealism. It is amidst this societal maelstrom that Margie, observing the utter disarray her grand experiment has wrought, finally confronts the profound naiveté of her 'foolish age' and, perhaps, the true path to both personal happiness and genuine charity, ultimately consenting to a union with the now-vindicated Homer.
