Tallulah plays yet another chorus girl, this time fleeing from her employer after he gets fresh with her and ending up in Monte Carlo, where she falls in love with a prominent young man. When he rebukes her at the alter for her shady past, she rips off her wedding gown in protest and ends up marrying a 75 year old prime minister who idolizes her. The wedding scene, where Tallulah ends up in her undies, caused quite a sensation. Her cheering fans screamed so long and hard that the theater owners feared a stampede!
