| ~Plot Synopsis~ |
This playful Allan Dwan effort stars Olive Borden as impulsive flapper Jewel Courage, who dumps the
man she loves, a humble chauffeur (Jimmy Grainger Jr.) in favor of millionaire John Jeffrey Fleet (Neil
Hamilton). Jewel soon discovers that Fleet is actually the chauffeur and her ex-beau is the millionaire; the
two merely traded places for a lark. Briefly taken aback, Jewel decides to prove that she, too, can change
her spots, and before long she has become a wealthy boadicea of Big Business. Stills from The Joy Girl
suggest that the film's principal selling angle was the stunning beauty of Olive Borden, who appeared in a
variety of revealing outfits. A lengthy Technicolor sequence allowed the viewer several tantalizing
glimpses of Palm Beach, Florida, vintage 1927.
