Week End Husbands

In a tale of indulgence and deception, William Randall's decision to become a bootlegger stems from his desire to satiate his wife Barbara's extravagant tastes. This choice, however, comes with a steep price: his freedom. Randall finds himself ensnared in a life of crime, only able to escape to his familial duties on weekends. Meanwhile, Barbara, ostensibly faithful yet drawn to the allure of a jazz ensemble, immerses herself in the hedonistic world of fashionable resorts. A harrowing canoeing incident nearly claims her life when a yacht collides with their vessel, but it is not the accident that alters her fate; rather, it is the malicious gossip spread by resort patrons that sows discord between the couple. Convinced of Barbara's infidelity, Randall abandons her, leading her to seek solace in Paris. As Federal agents close in on Randall, he secures his release on bail, only to hastily depart for Paris. Upon his arrival, he finds Barbara on the brink of death, having ingested poison. The timely intervention of Randall's love rekindles their bond, and together they flee to America, leaving their tumultuous past behind.
