Beautiful Fanny Trellis (Davis) has many admirers, but she also has an extravagant, dishonest brother, Trippy (Richard Waring), who embezzles funds from his boss, Job Skeffington (Rains). Job attempts to confront Trippy, but is instantly smitten by Fanny. In order to save Trippy's skin and facilitate a comfortable life for herself, Fanny marries Job. Job is initially devoted, but Fanny is shallow and faithless. The film follows their marriage as the years pass...

Happy Marriage Charade: Initally, anyway. Job only realises later in the marriage that Fanny doesn't love him.

Nice Guy: It takes Job a long time to stop being this, and even then he remains endlessly polite to adulterous, uncaring wife. George, Fanny's cousin, is something of an example, he clearly sees Fanny's treatment of Job cruel and spiteful, and is the one who pursues her to reconcile with him at the end.
