Corporation 5% PICTURE 25% Dr. Kennicott (Pat O’Brien) takes his newly maried wife, Carol (Josephine Hutchinson), an idealistic, intelligent city girl to his home in a_ small mid-Western town. Carol is introduced to his friends at a country club dance. She is popular with the men, such as Sam Clark (Guy Kibbee), owner of the hardware store and Dave Dyer (Olin Howland), the druggist, but incurs the hostility of the women who envy her personality and beauty. Out hunting with her husband, she meets Erik Valborg (Ross Alexander), a young farmer whose artistic tendencies have been smothered by ridicule and abuse. She wins his friendship by her sympathy and understanding. Energetic and idealistic, Carol declines to sink into the smug, mediocre dullness of the town but suggestions she makes to beautify it are met with hostility. Erik, following her advise, leaves the farm to live in town. The two draw up a plan to transform the ugly, standardized Main Street into a charming and picturesque thoroughfare. Erik falls in love with Carol but she still loves her doctor husband, although she quarrels with him because he failed to support her stand for a more beautiful town. Erik goes to the doctor and tells him he loves Carol and she returns his love. The doctor, shaken and doubtful, finally tells Erik to see Carol and find out if she will go away with him. She, surprised to hear of his love, sends him away. The boy gets wildly drunk and is fatally injured in an automobile accident. Erik’s father (Robert Barrat) denounces Carol on crowded Main Street, shouting that she had trifled with his son and caused his death. Carol is also accused by Vera Sherwin (Grace Stafford), who secretly loves the doctor, of neglecting him and flirting with Erik. Just at this time Carol’s former maid, Bea Sorenson (Louise Fazenda), dies, absolutely neglected by the snooty women of the town. It is too much for Carol. The town’s intolerance and _ cruelty seems to engulf her and she rushes home to pack. The doctor, finding that Carol did not love Erik, pleads with her to stay. She feels that she must leave to find herself again. But time and the real love which the two bear for each other brings her back again to Main Street, chastened by experience, more tolerant herself, and more popular as the town realizes in her absence that she had _ been right.
