Storyline
As part of a divorce settlement, Theodore Ainsley gets custody of his older daughter Millicent, and his wife Elinor gets younger sister Jean. The two girls, normally inseparable, can’t bear to be away from each other and run away together, but are soon caught by the authorities. Another custody hearing ensues, during which the girls’ attorney Horace Craig makes an unusual, and somewhat shocking, proposal.
