Donald Ingals and his wife Eunice are conventional and loving parents who are shocked when their son Bradley comes home from college with ideas that they consider to be outrageous. His parents would like him to get involved with Mary Burke, a prim and proper young lady. More complications ensue because Bradley's sister Lois is attracted to the flapper lifestyle, but she isn't sure whether she can handle its emotional demands.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is peak Pre-Code: flappers, sexual innuendo, and youth rebellion all before the Hays Code muzzled Hollywood in 1934.
Director Frank Tuttle would later be blacklisted in the 1950s; this early comedy shows none of the subversive bite that apparently scared McCarthy.
