Alice Adams is a young woman with ambitions to marry above her status. To do so, she must lie about her family's economic status to the young man who is courting her. Meanwhile her mother is pushing her unambitious husband into ventures that he really doesn't want to venture into; and the prodigal son is getting into debt. It all culminates in a crash when lies are found out and truths revealed.
