Young Helen (Marion Quigley) likes to go out every day and party all
night, and while her father (Donald Thompson) trusts her, her mother
(Adele Riggs) is worried sick. Then a friend relates them the story of
another partygirl - even though the story has precious little to do with
Helen:
The story is about Beth (Barbara Kent), a Reverend's (William Farnum),
who is pretty much not allowed to do anything ... so she frequently
sneaks out at night to be with her boyfriend Larry (Don Dillaway). One
night, they meet some friends, and before you know it they end up in a
bar, drinking heavily. When the place is raided, they manage to make an
escape ... and before long, they end up at a Justice of Peace's and Beth
and Larry get married. Then they sleep it off in an open convertible, and
the next day, Beth has completely forgotten about her wedding, and Larry
won't tell her. Her father however learns about his daughter partying, and
before long, he throws her out.
Ultimately, Beth and Larry take an appartment together, posing as a
married couple (which they actually are, but without Beth's knowledge),
but soon their relationship starts to crumble when Beth thinks Larry's
cheating on him and gets royally drunk. It all ends with a big fight and
Beth leaving him back for home. However, when she learns she is actually
married to Larry, she gets back together with him.
Back in the now, Helen's father receives a call from Helen that she
just married her boyfriend ... and suddenly even her mother's worries
about her little girl are over ...
As a film, Protect your Daughters is less than impressive, the
direction is definitely on the stagey side, the script is rather dull and
the actors are at best so-so. But as a reminder of moral standards of the
1930's, this film is almost indispensible and (unintentionally) hilarious,
seen from today's point of view. watch it as a historical document.
