Bien qu'elle soit une héritière et plutôt charmante, Venice Muir est très timide. Elle est flattée quand le flirt Donnie Wainwright la presse de s'enfuir à Paris avec lui, puis irrité quand il l'abandonne avant le départ de leur navire. Venise a une idée, engageant un type sans le sou, Guy Bryson, pour faire semblant d'être un gigolo et faire connaître l'effet de Venise sur les hommes. Bientôt, elle est le toast de Paris, des prétendants faisant la queue pour la courtiser, dont René, un homme de lignée noble. À son insu, René est très endetté. Lorsqu'elle rejette sa proposition, René se suicide, renforçant la réputation de Venise en tant que renarde déchirante. De retour à la maison, Venise est suivie de plus de commérages, dont certains sur Guy. Un Donnie ébloui recommence à la poursuivre, gagnant finalement Venise sans jamais connaître sa ruse.

The film opens with a sideshow barker drawing customers to visit the sideshow. A woman looks into a box to view a hidden occupant and screams. The barker explains that the horror in the box was once a beautiful and talented trapeze artist. The central story is of this conniving trapeze artist Cleopatra, who seduces and marries sideshow midget Hans after learning of his large inheritance. Cleopatra conspires with circus strongman Hercules to kill Hans and inherit his wealth. At their wedding reception, Cleopatra begins poisoning Hans' wine. Oblivious, the other "freaks" announce that they accept Cleopatra in spite of her being a "normal" outsider: they hold an initiation ceremony in which they pass a massive goblet of wine around the table while chanting, "We accept her, we accept her. One of us, one of us. Gooba-gobble, gooba-gobble". The ceremony frightens the drunken Cleopatra, who accidentally reveals that she has been having an affair with Hercules. She mocks the freaks, tosses the wine in their faces and drives them away. The humiliated Hans realizes that he's been played for a fool and rejects Cleopatra's attempts to apologize, but then he falls ill from the poison.
