An American novelist (William Powell) with a dubious background is now in Paris scamming wealthy American by blackmailing them with the help his one time girl friend (Wynne Gibson). His latest victim is a man (Guy Kibbee) and his nice (Carole Lombard), though as he starts to fall in love with her he starts to reassess his life style. The plot is not particularly original though it does have good performances from William Powell and Carole Lombard with a good supporting performance from Wynne Gibson.
