WALKING BACK (1928):

A young jazz hound, "Smoke" Thatcher, is failing his academic studies due to his fondness for partying and liquor. His foremost concern is to convince his pragmatic father to allow him to use the family car, so he can accompany bob-haired flapper Patsy Schuyler to a ritzy party. His father refuses to loan Smoke the car and chides him for lacking proper respect for authority, but his speech is interrupted by the maid announcing the arrival of the dad's private bootlegger. Undaunted, an enterprising Smoke steals the neighbor's car and drives to Patsy's house. He arrives too late. Patsy has already gone to the party with Smoke's arch-nemesis Pet Masters. Smoke nonetheless proceeds alone to the party and intrudes upon inebriated couples dancing the Charleston. Jealous and possessive, Smoke causes an ugly scene.
