Vivacious Lady
Botany professor Peter Morgan Jr. is sent to Manhattan to retrieve his playboy cousin Keith and immediately falls in love with nightclub singer Francey Brent, Keith’s current infatuation. After a whirlwind one-day courtship, Peter and Francey get married. The trio then returns to the Morgan family's home in the small town of Old Sharon, where Peter teaches at the university run by his father, Peter Morgan Sr. Mr. Morgan is known for being a proud, overbearing man, so Peter is afraid to tell him about the marriage. When they arrive, Mr. Morgan and Peter's blueblood fiancée, Helen, initially take Francey for another of Keith's racy girlfriends. While Peter decides how to approach his father with the news, Francey is introduced as a new botany student, and lodged at a women-only hotel in the college town.
