Description: Unmarried Lulu Bett can't question her role as chief cook and housekeeper in her married sister's home, but when a peripatetic brother-in-law comes to visit, he playfully proposes marriage. Lulu accepts, and the marriage soon reveals its underside, but not before she has tasted freedom.
