Jerry Stafford (Fredric March) is a major Wall Street player, whose money and influence can typically enamor any woman, but Julia Traynor (Claudette Colbert) is not any woman. Julia, though charmed by her boss’s interest, desires marriage with someone of her class, such as her low-level financier boyfriend Phillip Craig (Monroe Owsley). A year later, she and Phillip have wed, and Jerry, still very much in love, becomes burdened with a choice that could either save or threaten Julia’s marriage.
