Plot

In the sparkling realm of romantic-comedy, Loose Ankles introduces us to Ann Harper, a 17-year-old heiress played by the radiant Loretta Young. The twist? She stands to inherit a fortune, but on the condition that her family name remains untouched by scandal, and her marriage meets the approval of her two aunts and uncle. Unimpressed by these binds, Ann is intent on sparking a scandal that would prevent her family from laying hands on the inheritance. Cue the upright Fairbanks, who is unwittingly roped into playing the role of the "compromiser" in Ann's scandalous scheme. However, the pair find themselves tangled in a web of their own feelings, falling head over heels for each other. When they are found in a compromising situation in Ann's private room, Fairbanks is forced to make a swift, window-assisted exit, casting a shadow over their blossoming romance. As the plot thickens and the romance teeters on the brink of collapse, Fairbanks, aided by his two friends, concocts a plan to save their love. Unknowingly, they receive assistance from the most unlikely source - Ann's two straight-laced aunts. The story unfolds as a delightful mix of love, laughter, and unexpected alliances, keeping audiences on their toes until the very end.
