Diana Whitcombe (Bouchier) works at her aunt's country inn, but dreams of escaping to London and making her way in society.

Her kind action is witnessed by singer Jerry Dean (Lester), who strikes up a conversation and invites her for lunch the next day at the Ritz Hotel.

Diana is worried that has nothing suitable to wear to such a rarefied establishment, but is delighted when Annette produces a beautiful dress which she offers to loan to her.

Meanwhile, the Countess' maid, aware that she is already under suspicion, steals some valuable jewellery, alerts Annette and the pair take off for France.

Jerry has in fact been seriously injured in a road accident en route to Scotland and is hospitalised for a lengthy period, but unaware of this, Diana believes he has abandoned her.

Indications are that the film was marketed as a prestige production, with advance publicity emphasising aspects such as "lavish mounting", "expert direction" and "faultless recording and camera work".
