Curger soon learns that he will inherit a fortune from his British uncle if he marries an Englishwoman, but resists giving up his American citizenship until his British cousin, Beatrice Carewe, who has been disinherited because of a romance with an American, arrives, and Barbury convinces them to marry for convenience.
