Synopsis
Marcia Kane, daughter of an American capitalist, is persuaded by her father to marry the expatriated Russian Grand Duke Sergei, and believing Wally, her real love, to be dead, she consents. Discovering after the ceremony that her father has tricked her, Marcia vows to be the duke's wife in name only, though she refuses Wally's proposal that she go away with him. Sergei persuades Chinilly, who is fond of his wife, to present a pageant in her honor, and in Paris Chinilly finds Wally along with some crooks and reunites the lovers. The suspicious Sergei threatens to kill Wally, but Marcia bargains with her brutal husband. Gathering his underworld friends, Wally breaks into the duke's villa and saves her at the last minute. Sergei is forced to consent to a divorce, and Chinilly takes the lovers to his home on the Riviera.
