Why Be Good? is a laugh-filled romp starring Colleen Moore as the vivacious Pert Kelly, a flapper who falls for her wealthy employer's son (Neil Hamilton). Pert's reputation as a "jazz baby" creates complications as the film unfolds, but with the expected happy ending as Pert's virtue is put to a test that she happily wins. (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment)
