American Suzanne Stanley, short of money, takes her stepdaughter Emily to Biarritz in order to find her a wealthy husband. She pushes her towards the dull Englishman Sir Harry Congers, but Emily is drawn instead to a poor Basque boatman Esteban. She agrees to go with him to the mountains to meet his family, intending to live romantically for a few days to compensate for a lifetime with Sir Harry. She knows she cannot cope with the harsh, peasant life in the mountains, and slips away to Biarritz. He reappears on the day of the wedding and takes her away on a yacht for England, revealing that he has made a fortune in America.
