What is the foundation of a lasting marriage?  Love?  Convenience?  Money?  And when a marriage doesn’t last, what gives us the courage to try again?

In 1921, Arthur Richman scored his first stage triumph with a romantic comedy about a second marriage, and challenge the play throws down still strikes a resonant chord.

Divorced New York socialite Lucy Warriner plans to tie the knot again: this time to Oklahoma oil man Dan Leeson. He is not of her circle, but he can certainly afford to keep her in it. Yet, before he—and moreover, his bluenosed aunt—will accept her, Lucy must quash a persistent rumor: that her cheating drove her first husband to divorce her. So she enlists her estranged ex-husband, Norman, to vouch for her. Of course........
