SPOILERS: PLOT SUMMARY. Marcia Blake (Prevost) starts work as a model in the fashionable boutique of Monsieur Henri, a known womanizer who presents her with a gift of silk stockings on her first day on the job. Marcia catches on to his game and returns them along with an ermine wrap Henri tries to give her later. Her brother Bob (Arthur) spends most of the film defending her honor which doesn't really need defending. A boutique customer and social climber, Mrs. Reilly, throws a party to which Marcia is invited. Henri tells Mrs. Reilly that he will pull strings to invite a visiting Duke to her shindig, but that the Duke wants to keep a low profile. When William Duke (Harrison Ford) shows up with a letter of introduction proclaiming him a nephew of the Reilly's, Mrs. R assumes he is the royal guest incognito. She was told that the Duke is anxious to meet a famous authoress and when the lady in question fails to arrive, Marcia is talked in to impersonating her. To pull off the charade, she borrows a fancy gown from the much larger Mrs. Reilly which she is warned, is only basted together. William falls for Marie, even as her gown falls apart, but she runs like Cinderella. Mrs. Reilly convinces Marie to impersonate the authoress one more time to please "The Duke." While at their beach date, the Reilly party runs into Monsieur Henri and his guest the REAL Duke. It turns out that William Duke, only a run-of-the mill millionaire, showed up at the wrong house on the night of the Reilly bash! He buys out Henri's business to convince Marcia that he truly loves her. Prevost looks her loveliest in some stunning close-ups and beautiful clothes.
