When director Richard Boleslawski died suddenly in the middle of production, George Fitzmaurice took over, and when he became ill, the film was completed by Dorothy Arzner.

In London, she becomes the darling of English society, impressing everyone, including Arthur's wealthy aunt, the Duchess of Ebley (Jessie Ralph), who invites her to stay with her for the weekend.

After a charity auction at Fay's house, her "servants" look forward to a profitable future, but Charles (William Powell), her butler, suggests that she may be more fond of Arthur than she pretends.

Later, when Fay steals the pearls, Arthur confronts her before she can throw them down to her friends, after remembering that he recognized Charles from an incident the previous year on the Riviera.

Kelton then suggests that they offer to pay Fay's passage back to America in exchange for not revealing the letter's contents.

After offering to return Arthur's watch, which he stole five years before, Charles goes with Inspector Witherspoon, leaving Fay ignorant of the fact that he has turned himself in.

Marguerite Tazelaar in the New York Herald Tribune wrote "Joan Crawford as Mrs. Cheyney was competent, besides giving the part considerable sympathy...The picture has been staged handsomely, the musical score accompanying it is good, and the lines glitter."
