Overview

Not only Mama will love Papa, but the whole family will eat out of his hand if he takes them to see this laugh-filled, human comedy of modern home making in which mischievous Wanda Hawley wields the heroine's duster.

Cora and Frank Rodham are happily married until Frank lands a lucrative position. He doesn't want to see his pretty wife slaving away at domestic chores so he hires servants to do the work for her. As a result, Cora becomes fat and lazy. Frank is very unhappy with his wife's change in attitude and appearance and starts to take an interest in her friend, Lila Drake, who is secretly just as lazy.
