Synopsis

William Carter, the eldest son of an aristocratic southern family, marries famed Parisian dancer Fanchon La Fare without his family's consent. Mrs. Carter's attitude annoys Fanchon, and she decides to seek revenge: she smokes cigarettes before the family; performs a dance at a church entertainment in a scanty costume; and flirts with Carter's younger brother, Leigh. Fanchon's ex-husband, Corwin, shows up; he insults her, and Leigh kills him. At the trial, Fanchon's testimony frees Leigh, and the couple are eventually reunited.
