As described in a film magazine review,^[3] Philip Durban marries Claire Bowdoin, a spoiled daughter of an improvised society matron. Their marriage as such is in name only.

Once there, the Prince annoys her with his advances, so she sends for her husband. Arriving in Italy, Philip strikes the Prince, who challenges him to a duel. The Prince is killed and, with this cloud removed, Philip and Claire have a life of sunshine.
