The film's sets were designed by the art directors Fritz Lück and Hans Sohnle.

The English industrialist Lawrence Vinning has recently divorced his first wife, and marries Mary.

There he encounters his previous wife Yvonne, who tells him her lawyers think they may still be married as he filed for divorce in America, not Britain.

When Lawrence's lawyer Frank Betterton turns up the next morning, he tries in vain to get Yvonne to give up her claim.

When Mary enters and discovers them, Lawrence manages to convince her that Yvonne and Frank are husband and wife.
