Jerry Corbett is an alcoholic who never got over his big love, until the love of Joan Prentice makes him forget--until Jerry's former flame Claire comes back into the picture. Soon it's back to the bottle, and Jerry's marriage to Joan is on the rocks. Joan makes the bright decision that what's good for the goose is good for the gander and begins to drink and party like Jerry. Joan becomes ill from this raucous living and goes home to her rich daddy. Upon Joan's departure, Jerry suddenly decides he really does love Joan, dumps Claire, and tries desperately to see Joan to tell her. Joan's daddy prevents Jerry from seeing Joan. A newspaper clipping clues Jerry in to the fact that he's just become a father. He races to the hospital, then struggles with his father-in-law to see his wife and child.—Debbie Dunlap
