"Cassandra Hopper, returning from Europe, stops a stowaway from throwing
himself overboard. Stowaway turns out to be Prince Vladimir Dubriski, exiled
Russian. Cassandra brings him home, to the consternation of her new-rich family
and the joy of her friends. The Prince falls in love with her, but her heart is
true to Graham Delano, her western sweetheart. Then the prince, to rid himself
of an entangling widow, Kay Gurlitz, insists his assumed title is false and that
he is only a valet. Kay drops him and he retires heart-shocked but with dignity."
