Synopsis
Tina, who is from an aristocratic English family, believes in the new freedom for women and is an ardent follower of a group of pseudo-bohemians. While riding through the neighboring estate of John Humphries, a wealthy commoner resented by the Carteret family, she is retrieved from a fall by John and blames him for the accident. The following day, she invites him to dinner, pretending repentance, but taking pleasure in ridiculing his old-fashioned dignity. Later, he refuses to take her to a disreputable nightclub, thus saving her from a raid, and her confidence turns to love. They are married, with the condition that Tina is to have absolute liberty, and while on a Spanish holiday with bohemians, she is threatened with blackmail. John, on the brink of financial ruin, nevertheless shields his wife's reputation. At the suggestion of his friend, Lord Purdon, the plotters are brought together and identified as swindlers. Tina proves her innocence, and John is reconciled to her.
