The film depicts a young woman (Fannie Ward) who agrees to a sham wedding with Lord Riginald Belsize (Jack Dean) because his inheritance prohibits him from marrying his girlfriend who is an actress. Belsize is convinced if he marries someone else and hires that woman to be his "wife" he can hide his relationship with his girlfriend.
