Her old (and nearly forgotten) flame Leander Nolan (Edward Everett Horton)she calls him Bunnyis now running for the Senate and fears embarrassment and political ruin. Spurred by his wealthy backer and prospective father-in-law, Nolan tries to halt publication of the book, clashing from the start with Kurt. To get Marion away from the distraction, Kurt takes her to a secluded cabin in Maine, where a romance develops between the two, despite the great differences in temperament, tolerance and ambition.
