On the one-year anniversary of their divorce, T. H. "Randy" Randall and his ex-wife Valerie dine together in the restaurant where they fell in love. While dancing with Valerie, Randy, who ruined their marriage by loving his race horse more than his wife, is arrested for not paying her alimony. Thrown into jail, the desperate Randy concocts a plan with his attorney, Bill Carter, to end his alimony payments and therefore his financial woes by marrying Valerie off. As soon as he is released, Randy tries to match up his dull friend, Paul Hunter, with Valerie, and succeeds in getting the two to join him on a trip to wealthy socialite Ethel Hilary's Duck's Point estate. Ethel, though quite an eccentric herself, thrives on entertaining interesting people at her home, such as yoga afficionado Mr. Dicky Brown. Ethel extends her hospitality to all, including a dashing man she has never met before named Freddie, who arrives uninvited. Freddie instantly becomes infatuated with Valerie and woos her with an evening serenade of her favorite song. The next morning, Ethel, who heard the lovely music from her room and believes it was Randy's song to her, thanks him for it. When Randy discovers that Valerie has spurned Paul in favor of Freddie, he reprimands her for her poor treatment of his friend and insists that he, not Freddie, escort her to a picnic. However, when Randy's car has a flat tire, Valerie is provided with an opportunity to resume her romance with Freddie, who drives by and exchanges his passenger, Ethel, for Randy's. At the picnic, Valerie keeps Freddie at bay until she can coax a marriage proposal from him, but is shocked when she learns that he is married to another woman. Though Freddie promises to divorce his wife, Valerie turns her back on the lothario and packs her bags. Randy wants to re-marry Valerie, whom he still loves, and panics when it appears that she will be marrying Freddie. When Randy proposes to Valerie, she finally hears the words that she has wanted to hear for a long time and eagerly accepts his proposal. Her excitement is brought to an abrupt halt, however, when Bill, not realizing it is Randy and not Freddie that she is marrying, tells Valerie that Randy will be happy to see his "plan" end in success. Hurt and angry that she should be taken for granted and that Randy was only motivated by his financial difficulties, Valerie decides to marry Paul. Ethel gladly makes the arrangements for the wedding at Duck Point, but chaos ensues when two grooms appear to take Valerie's hand in marriage. Furthermore, the ceremony takes place during a radio broadcast of the horse race in which Randy's horse, "Ajax," is racing, and Bill and Randy's excitement spreads throughout the wedding party until the ceremony is completely disrupted. Valerie, forced to choose between Paul and Randy, decides to remarry Randy, and the two are overjoyed when Randy's horse wins the race.
