ynopsis

Princess Patrice O'Connor, from Ireland, is married to Prince Antonio di Montaldo. The Prince is unattentive, now that the couple has married, and so Pat pretends to elope with the aging Anthony Schmalz to make him jealous and to help her friend Grace. Her scheme works well: the Prince's passion is revived, and Grace marries a younger and more suitable member of the Schmalz family.
