The daughter of an English Baron and a French mother, Louise is young, wealthy, intelligent, well-educated and beautiful.

An object of pursuit by many eligible young men in her London, England area, Louise feels herself not really capable of love.

She meets Lord James Strathcrombie, a decorated war veteran and owner of Benhyter Motors, Limited, a successful automobile company.

Although she believes in loyalty and is devoted to her husband, Louise feels an attraction to Robert which lasts through the visit.

Louise and Robert spend considerable time together and the encounters grow increasingly romantic.

They determine to tell James, but he leaves on an emergency business trip before Louise can work up the courage to do so.

They attempt to follow him to Bordeaux, France, but en route, while staying in a hotel, Robert encounters Babs.
