| Portia Prouty has been the head of her family ever since the death of her milIionaire father. But playing mother to her eccentric siblings proves to be just too much work, and their mansion home quickly becomes a shambles. Providence arrives when humble businessman Graham Smith wants to buy the property. Graham's offer inadvertently attracts the interest of high society, and they descend on the dilapidated Prouty mansion, looking to outbid him. Portia wiIl have to make the right decision for both her and her famiIy, which is made more difficult when she realizes she has faIlen in love with Graham. InitiaIly released under the title ""Love Fever,"" Society Fever is directed by the prolific Frank R. Strayer. Specializing in 'B' features, Strayer directed over 80 fiIms, including 12 entries in the popuIar 'BIondie' series starring Penny SingIeton. He also showed a deft touch for horror in films like The Monster WaIks (1932) and The Vampire Bat (1933). Star Lois WiIson also had a long career; her breakthrough role came in the siIent western The Covered Wagon (1923). Successfully making the transition to sound features, she pIayed Shirley Temple's mother in one of her most popuIar fiIms, Bright Eyes (1934). ln the 1950's she moved to teIevision, taking character parts on soap operas Iike The Guiding Light and The Secret Storm. Hedda Hopper, then a struggIing actress, appears as socialite Mrs. Vandergriff. Three years after the release of Society Fever, she would abandon her acting career to write the gossip column 'Hedda Hopper's Hollywood' for the Los AngeIes Times, finding much more success writing about stars than being one.
