Max Clement and his father are a pair of fortune hunters seeking to marry wealthy women. Max falls in love with Rosine, who he thinks is rich, but it turns out she's as poor as he is. When his father gets in some trouble gambling, Max agrees to marry Lady Joan to keep his father out of jail. This is a bit of a reverse on the usual gold-digger theme--its usually the ladies we see cast in this role. One problem: the character of Lady Joan is much more appealing than that of Rosine.
