Synopsis

The daughter of an English millionaire falls in love with Jorge Sullivan, a famous comedic actor. He also loves her, but does not realize that she is the millionaire's daughter. The comedian allows himself to be persuaded by the millionaire to disenchant one of his daughters and gives his word to discredit himself verbally in her presence at dinner. Although stricken by grief at finding out the target of deception is his loved one, Sullivan does keep his promise.
