The Talk of the Town

剧情简介

Genevra Frinch, the pretty daughter of Major French, is brought up in a strict environment. Her nature revolts. She wants freedom. A book, entitled "How to Attract the Opposite Sex," falls in her hands, she reads it and absorbs some of its teachings. Lawrence Tabor, who is counted as one of the few friends of her father, visits them. Parrot-like, she practices some of the book's theories on him, and he becomes fascinated with her. After several secret meetings, Genevra asks Lawrence if he will take her as his wife. He consents, and they get married. Shortly afterward she tells her husband she married him to save herself from her prison of a home, and that she is going to be free and act as she pleases. She meets Jack Lanchome, an idler, whose only occupation is to fascinate women, and demands of her husband to be introduced to him. Lawrence refuses, stating that he will not insult her by introducing her to such a man. Her desire to meet him now becomes the stronger.
