Synopsis

Learning that Liane, the granddaughter who she has not seen since her mother took her to France as an infant, is being called "Princess Virtue" by Paris society, Mrs. Clare Demarest dispatches Basil, a distant relative, to investigate. Basil finds that Liane is a capricious young woman who is unable to decide between her two suitors, Baron Strensky and Emile Carre. As a result of the rivalry, Strensky challenges Carre to a duel and wounds his adversary, forcing Carre to withdraw his attentions. Basil then begs Liane to accompany him back to America, but she refuses. On the afternoon before his ship is to sail, Basil and Liane are dining in a restaurant where they see Strensky, to whom Liane is now engaged, enter the room with Mlle. Sari. Basil confronts Strensky about his infidelity, and the Baron challenges him to a duel, but Liane intervenes and Basil takes the steamer home. Mid-ocean, he is pleasantly surprised to discover that Liane has changed her mind and is his traveling companion.

Notes

This was Mae Murray's first picture for Bluebird. The synopsis of the film included in the copyright descriptions credits Jack Bosburg with the role of "Basil Demarest," but all reviews list Wheeler Oakman with the role.
