Monica and Harry are on a scavenger hunt organized by her aunt Carrie. The final challenge is to find a man who has been married over 5 years and is still faithful or a woman over 20 who has never had a love affair. Monica goes to fetch her father Sir Christopher Strong (Colin Clive) who is faithful to her mother. Harry gets into an accident with Lady Cynthia Darrington (Katharine Hepburn), an adventurer flier. She had never found love.
The problem is that the meet-cute is actually between Harry and Lady Darrington. There is no chemistry with Christopher. The story needs to manufacture a way for the car accident to be between Sir Strong and Lady Darrington. At least that way, there is a chance for this tragic romance to build. As it stands, it's all rather unseemly. One does not root for this relationship. It could be solved if he's a widower. This movie is still an interesting star vehicle for the up-and-comer Katharine Hepburn. It's only her second film and she outshines everybody.
