From dust wrapper: "In Hollywood there is a little circle whose members have decided that the celibate life is best. They call themselves Bachelors Anonymous. Their methods are frankly borrowed from Alcoholics Anonymous. When one of them feels the urge to take a woman out, he seeks out the other members of the circle and tells them of his craving, and they reason with him. He pleads that one dinner cannot do him any harm, but they know what that one dinner can lead to. They point out the inevitable results of that first downward step. Once yield to temptation, and it is inevitable that one will soon stand cowering beside one's bride at the altar rail, racked with regret and remorse when it is too late. So when Ivor Llewellyn, a five-time loser in matrimony and the softest of targets for a female dinner companion, sets off for London, and his friends at Bachelors Anonymous realize that they have no London branch, they feel they have to Take Steps.".
