At a party, Joan Blondell has a fight with her husband (Warren William) and he slaps her in the face. She doesn't actually seem to be all that hurt, physically or emotionally, but she nevertheless decides to get a divorce, egged on by lawyer friend Edward Everett Horton, who is himself in love with Blondell. After the divorce, Horton marries Blondell and is eventually driven to slap her as well, which sends her back to William, who not only slaps her again, but also rips her dress off of her before carting her off to the bedroom.
The couch, actually, where she begs, "Tony, hit me again!"
