Plot

Having set out on a cruise with his father for Europe, Billy Morrow discovers the true purpose of that trip which, organized by Mrs. Parr, an intriguing high society lady who has buried three husbands, now plans to marry him to the his stepdaughter. Off the French coast, Billy decides to leave the ship and heads ashore with Red, a former taxi driver who has become his friend. In Paris, the two meet the artist Gaston Picard. Although he is engaged to Countess Stoll, he is in love with his American model Renée Darcourt. Billy also falls in love with her, but he can't convince himself of Renée's honesty, either because of her profession or because he suspects that she is having an affair with Picard. When war breaks out, Billy enlisted, joining the Foreign Legion. During a fight, he is injured. Taken to a hospital, he finds Renée there, who works there as a nurse. Doubts and jealousies vanish: lovers, finding themselves, forget all suspicions, happily reunited.
