Budapest bar entertainer Zara (Greta Garbo) is a discontented alcoholic who is pursued by many men but lives with novelist Carl Salter (Erich von Stroheim). A strange man called Tony (Owen Moore) shows up on Salter's estate claiming that Zara is actually Maria, the wife of his close friend Bruno. Maria, Tony claims, had her memory destroyed during a World War I invasion 10 years ago. Zara doesn't remember but leaves with Tony to Salter's dismay. Bruno, now an officer in the Italian Army, tries to coax Maria's memory back on his large estate. No one is really sure if Zara is Maria, and when Salter shows up with a mental case from Trieste that he claims is the real Maria, everyone on Bruno's estate is desperately searching for the truth.

Vendeuse de cigares dans un hôtel, Molly fréquente un jeune homme fortuné. Un mariage semble s'annoncer. Molly doit être présentée à la famille. Elle constate, hélas, que mère et fils ont disparu et se sont embarqués pour l'Europe. Mère d'un enfant, Molly le confie à une nourrice et finit par trouver refuge auprès d'un gangster, Nicky Grant. Elle est alors mêlée, en dépit de sa propre volonté, à un meurtre. La police arrête Nicky. Ce dernier, en la trahissant, l'oblige à modifier son apparence et son identité. Molly est alors recueillie par un étudiant, autrefois groom, qui veut l'épouser et la rendre "respectable". Or, précisément, dans le même immeuble vit un journaliste cynique et beau parleur, Scotty Cornell, qui enquête sur l'"affaire Molly Louvain" et dont la jeune femme ne tarde pas à devenir amoureuse.

As John Allen (played by Edward G. Robinson, a condemned murderer, is led to the electric chair, a witness asks the prison Governor how long it takes for the condemned person to die. "A strongly built man like John Allen?" he is told, "It'll take two seconds". The witness remarks "That'll be the longest two seconds of his life." As the executioner throws the switch, the events that led up to the execution appear in flashback.
