Professor Pierre Ginsberg is having wife trouble and, on the advice of his lawyer, sets out to wear her down with kindness; she wants constant entertainment his lawyer promises him that a month of dancing and entertainment will eventually kill her or, at least, calm her down some. The exact opposite happens and Professor Ginsberg stands a good chance of dying himself. He manages to sing a song, in the best Willie Howard style, along the way.

The members of the Lonely Hearts Club aren't mixing, so Harriet Hutchins takes decisive action. She gets the female membership to put on a floor show, which breaks the ice and makes the club a success. The reel features three dance routines, and a song by Harriet, "I Hate This Thing Called Swing."
