Fanny learns that Trippy has embezzled money from his stockbroker employer Job Skeffington Claude Rains. To save her brother from prosecution, Fanny pursues and marries the lovestruck Skeffington. Disgusted by the arrangement, in part because of his prejudice against Skeffington being Jewish, Trippy leaves home to fight in the Lafayette Escadrille in World War I.Job loves Fanny, but she is merely fond of him and largely ignores him. She becomes pregnant with his child, but, when Trippy dies in France, she states she is stuck with Job, and the marriage then becomes wholly loveless, continuing only for the childs sake.
