Synopsis
Having squandered his fortune in the pursuit of pleasure, the Marquis d'Argenville finds that he is unable to pay his staff or his creditors.

Their plan goes awry, however, when the marquis falls in love with Gwendolyn's poor companion, Peggy Winton.

Notes
According to information in the Paramount Produced Scripts Collection at the AMPAS Library, the title of Frederic Arnold Kummer's unpublished, original story was Marrying the Marquis. Paramount records indicate that Vajda based his story on Kummer's. The Variety review misspells writer Ernest Vajda's surname as "Vadja."
