Synopsis

Dulcy knows what’s best for everyone in her life.

And she’s willing to meddle in their affairs until they see the truth of her ways.

In her eager determination to be helpful to her husband and friends Dulcy plans a weekend party, which quickly becomes an unbroken series of hilarious tragedies.

Among her guests is a rapturous writer who conspires to elope with the daughter of a capitalist who loathes motion pictures; the rich young man from Newport whom Dulcy invites because he may be useful in assisting the aspirations of the capitalist’s wife but turns out to be an escaped lunatic; the ex-convict whom she has employed as a butler and who plots to steal a diamond necklace belonging to one of the guests.

Everything goes wrong, including the bridge, the golf and the billiards.
