 We find con-man Ingraham Steward (Frank Morgan) living by his wits by steering wealthy Paris visitors to sellers of fake paintings and other assorted dodges. He and his wife, Adatha (Janet Beecher), have been separated for 15 years, but he promises to give their daughter, Joyce (Florence Rice), a lavish wedding at his "chateau" in France. The fact that he doesn t have a chateau in France is just a minor trifle. He induces the caretaker, Bill Cherau (John Beal), of a large country estate to allow it to be used for the wedding. The wedding party arrives and Bill falls madly in love with Joyce and she with him, but a gal has gotta do what a gal has gotta do, and her intended marriage to stuffed-shirt Horace Miller (Tom Rutherford) stays on the books. But Steward has a change of heart and he tells one and all that he and his friends, Von Gersdorff (Herman Bing), Lefevre (Erik Rhodes), Iznamof (George Givot), Clifton Summitt (Reginald Denny) and Sasch (Vladimir Sokoloff), are all frauds and crooks. Horace and his family stalk out, which is just fine with Joyce as her true love, the caretaker, is waiting on the grounds. That he turns out to be the real owner and also a Count appears to be a surprise to all...
