The lodge is having as gala opening for the Christmas season with many scenes of winter sports and seasonal celebrating when the rest of the guests arrive. Astor and her daughter (Edith Fellows) are down on men due to Astor's recent divorce, and Melvyn Douglas has been a widower since the birth of his son (Jackie Moran). Due to classic movie confusion, the couple at first despise each other, then of course fall in love.
