Where to Watch Easy to Love (1934)

Summary

Carol starts feeling that her husband John has grown indifferent to her and tries to find out why, suspecting that he has another woman. She sees the family physician, Dr. Swope, first, hires a private detective. Her own sleuthing is more effective and she devises a plan; having long been pursued by Eric, she accompanies him to an apartment building and, per her plan, enters the wrong apartment, where they find her best friend Charlotte hiding with John in a closet. John, showing more nerve than good sense, goes into a rage and berates Carol for her apparent philandering. The battle continues at home, where their daughter Janet informs them that because of them, she and Paul have given up on the idea of marriage, but are going away together anyway. Carol and John trail them to a hotel and find them in twin beds, whereupon John, armed with a fire-ax, summons a justice of the peace and demands a fire-ax version of a shotgun wedding.
