A fast‑paced romantic comedy follows con‑artist Ingraham Steward, who swindles wealthy Parisians with fake art. Though separated from his wife Agatha for 15 years, he promises a lavish wedding for their daughter Joyce at a “château” that’s really a country estate he borrows from caretaker Bill Cherau. Bill and Joyce fall in love, but Joyce is still slated to marry the pompous Horace Miller. Steward finally confesses his scams, clearing the way for the true romance to unfold at the improvised wedding.
