Plot
Frustrated because they can't get their songs published, Jingles Collins and Bob Grant decide to leave New York City and return home. On one last night out on the town, joined by Jingles' sweetheart Jackie, they encounter Barbara Wyngate, mistaking her for a dance hostess when she is actually a wealthy young heiress.
Barbara keeps her identity a secret after falling for Bob and pays to have a song published. With assistance from her father, she also gives expensive gifts. Bob at first suspects her to be some kind of kleptomaniac, then spots her father with her and angrily assumes Barbara is a mistress of a much older man.
Refusing to listen to her explanation, Bob becomes so distant that Barbara decides to elope with her boring fiance Willard against her better judgment. Andrew Wyngate finally explains the truth to Bob and together they hurry to put a stop to the wedding.

Reception
T.M.P. of The New York Times said, "It was a blue day all around yesterday, inside and outside of the Strand, where a feeble little comedy called Love and Learn made a timid bid for attention. The less it gets the better everybody will be in the long run, for this is indeed a sad, sad example of picture making, so inept in execution and conception that it is hard to believe it comes from the Warner Brothers studio."
