Just to Keep Busy

A charming con man's past comes back to haunt him when a woman he tricked and left behind survives a shipwreck. She won't speak up to help him in court, so he gets locked up for life. But as she starts to fall for the man she's now with, she must choose between staying loyal to him or going after what would make her truly happy.

The charms of a lovable rogue finally catch up with him when a girl he deceived and abandoned is found alive after an accident at sea. She refuses to testify for him, and he's sentenced to life in prison. But as she learns to love the man she has accepted, she finds herself torn between loyalty to him and the chance for her own happiness.

Woody Wallace, engaged to Sally Schaefer, a dress designer living in Paris, has an affair, “just to keep busy,” with Lizzie Wentworth, the secretary of his best friend, Frank Gilmore. Woody even asks Lizzie to marry him, knowing that Sally is soon coming home for their wedding. When Lizzie learns the truth, she jumps overboard from a sailboat at night, and Woody is accused of her murder. He hopes Sally will be the chief witness in his defense.
