It was adapted by June Mathis from a 1917 play of the same name by Frederick and Fanny Hatton, and directed by Jack Conway.

[1] Tito Lombardi's struggling Fifth Avenue couture house is spiraling into financial failure.

Through a Broadway investor he meets and falls for a showgirl who soon proves to be a gold-digger; his attractive but unassuming female assistant Norah loves him but has never made her feelings known.

With money from a third-party inheritance and some ingenuity on Norah's part, the House of Lombardi is resurrected.

A print of Lombardi, Ltd. was donated by the MGM and is preserved at the George Eastman House.
