Synopsis
When Jack Churchill, a young spendthrift, learns that fellow club member Lord Reginald Belsize has inherited an estate and millions of dollars in America, he convinces his sister, Helen de Semiano, a performer at the Gaiety Theatre with whom Reginald is infatuated, to make him propose. The three sail to New York, where Reginald learns that to receive the inheritance, he must marry within a year, but that his wife may never have been an actress. After Reginald agrees with his lawyer, John Travers, to marry Travers' godchild Katherine "Kitty" Silverton, who has been left penniless, Kitty, who agrees for $50,000 and a Newport cottage to sue her absent husband for divorce in six months, appears ugly, stupid and awkward at the wedding so as not to arouse Helen's jealousy. A few months later, Reginald sees a photograph of Kitty, now beautiful and the rage of Newport, in the society papers. Tired of Helen, he travels there, followed by Jack and Helen, who attempt to provoke a divorce. Reginald, however, proposes to Kitty, who, loving him, reminds him that a proposal is not necessary.
