Summary
In an era where societal standing often dictated personal choices, a young woman, driven by a romanticized vision of ambition, spurns the tangible security offered by a wealthy suitor. Instead, she chooses the charismatic, albeit materially unproven, car salesman whose grand pronouncements of future success eclipse his current lack of enterprise. Post-nuptials, the veneer of his aspirational rhetoric quickly dissolves, revealing a man more enamored with the *idea* of prosperity than its arduous pursuit, compelling his wife into the workforce. A twist of fate intervenes when the husband, opportunistically eavesdropping, uncovers his wife's former admirer's strategic real estate plans. Seizing this as a chance to prove his entrepreneurial mettle and reclaim his wife's respect, he procures capital from a captivating, affluent woman. This financial entanglement, however, breeds profound marital discord; the wife, perceiving an emotional or personal transgression in the husband's alliance with another woman, initiates divorce proceedings, unleashing a cascade of intricate personal and social repercussions.
Synopsis
A pretty young woman marries a slick-talking car salesman instead of the wealthy playboy who proposed. After the marriage she discovers that her new husband is more interested in talking about being a success than in actually trying to be one, and she is eventually forced to get a job. One day her husband overhears his wife's former suitor's plans for a particular piece of property; in order to purchase the property and impress his wife with his business acumen, he borrows money from a pretty and wealthy woman. When his wife finds out, she resents her husband's relationship with the woman and demands a divorce. Complications ensue.
