Summary
In the burgeoning twilight of the Jazz Age, Tommie Lou emerges as a relic of Victorian restraint, an anachronistic debutante whose initial foray into the high-society circuit is met with chilling indifference. Her coming-out party, intended as a social coronation, instead becomes a testament to her perceived obsolescence amidst the gin-soaked, frenetic energy of her peers. Recognizing the social currency of the era, Tommie Lou orchestrates a radical socio-cultural metamorphosis, adopting the performative hedonism and vivacious affectations of the quintessential flapper. This manufactured persona, while securing her the adoration of the elite, inadvertently precipitates a matrimonial schism between a prominent couple, leading to a scandalous divorce petition. The narrative arc pivots when Tommie Lou's artifice collides with genuine affection for the litigation's legal counsel. This romantic entanglement serves as the catalyst for her eventual rejection of jazz-age artifice, culminating in a moral recalibration that dissolves the legal strife and restores her to a state of enlightened domesticity.
Synopsis
Because she is modest and relatively old-fashioned, young debutante Tommie Lou finds herself unpopular at her coming-out party. Resorting to unconventional jazz attitudes, she becomes a great success at the cost of provoking a quarrel and a divorce suit between a married couple. When she falls in love with the wife's lawyer, however, the divorce case is forgotten, and she reforms.
