Plot Summary
Babe Stewart is a card shark who decides to lay low in a small town. There, he meets a librarian named Connie, who is tired of small town life. On the flip of a coin, Babe agrees to marry Connie, and brings his new bride to New York. Babe pretends to work an office job and hides the true identity of his friends in order to prevent Connie from knowing about his illegal dealings. When the police catch up with Babe he decides that he must reform his behavior, and agrees to a jail sentence. To hide his whereabouts from Connie, he concocts an elaborate story that he must go on a trip to South America. Connie, already knowing the extent of Babe’s criminality, lets him keep up his charade so as not to embarrass him, and waits patiently for his release.
