Synopsis
Corinne Chilvers, qui s'ennuie dans sa vie de riche héritière, répond à une annonce où l'on recherche une femme au passé tragique. Elle est engagée pour obtenir une proposition de mariage d'un millionnaire sud-américain, Nicholas Fenwick, et se fait passer pour une danseuse masquée pour attirer son attention. Après diverses péripéties, Fenwick tombe amoureux de Corinne, mais les Chilvers, scandalisés par les escapades de leur fille, la répudient. Lorsqu'elle informe ses employeurs que Fenwick lui a proposé de l'épouser, Corinne découvre que le jeune homme n'est pas un millionnaire, mais est en fait l'objet d'une opération publicitaire, qui échoue lorsque Corinne et Fenwick se marient réellement. Fenwick va trouver alors les parents de Corinne et les persuade de pardonner à leur fille.Actors
