The film was set in both England and France. The plot was summarised in a review in Photoplay Magazine as: "An enmity of long standing between two aristocratic English families is straightened out through the association of the younger generation". The young lady of one family (Fay Wynchbeck, played by Betty Balfour) accidentally meets a young man from the other family (Jack Trebarrow, an aviator, played by George Hackathorne) in a Paris nightclub. The review of the film concluded: "The development of their love affair will interest you, but the story is disconnected".[3][1]
