Learning to Love

Patricia Stanhope is a born flirt. After promising to marry one of her professors at finishing school, she becomes successively engaged to a college boy she meets on a train, to a young Chicago millionaire, and to a nutty French count. The only man who does not easily succumb to her charm and good looks is Scott Warner, the handsome lawyer who acts as her guardian. As the result of being engaged to four men at once, Patricia starts a public row that ends with three of the fiancés in jail. Scott saves her from scandal but tells her that he will personally force her to marry the next man with whom she becomes entangled. Having fallen in love with Scott, Patricia hides herself in his apartment for a night and then sends a hint of the escapade to a scandal sheet. To save her reputation, Scott gallantly marries the willing Patricia but refuses to live with her, and Patricia sadly sails to Paris to obtain a divorce. Discovering that he is truly in love with Patricia, Scott immediately follows her to France, where they finally spend their wedding night together in a hotel room filled with flowers.
