Plot

As described in a film magazine,[4] Amanda "Darcy" Cole (Burke) is a normal young woman with a pleasing personality who, strangely enough, has no suitors. Her friends announce their engagements from time to time and each announcement giving her added cause for alarm. Gloria Green (Linden), an ardent physical culturist, tells Darcy where she is lax and she immediately begins training to improve her appearance. In the meantime she feigns an engagement with an unidentified Englishman. Her friends are invited to the country home of Tom Harmon (Lane) to spend their honeymoons. To the surprise of all, Darcy shows up with her Englishman, who in time is identified as the very American cousin of one of her friends. This leads to a happy ending.
