Tina Carteret, the scion of an aristocratic English family, believes in the new freedom for women and attaches herself to a group of pseudo-bohemians. While riding through the neighboring estate of John Humphries, a wealthy commoner resented by the Carterets, she is retrieved from a fall by John but blames him for the accident. The following day, she invites him to dinner, pretending repentance, but instead takes pleasure in ridiculing his old-fashioned dignity. Later, he refuses to take her to a disreputable nightclub, thus saving her from a raid, and her condescension turns to love. They are married, with the condition that Tina is to have absolute liberty. While on a holiday in Spain with her bohemian friends, Tina is threatened with blackmail. John is on the brink of financial ruin, but nevertheless shields his wife's reputation. At the suggestion of John's friend, Lord Purdon, the plotters are brought together and identified as swindlers. Tina proves her innocence, and John is reconciled to her.
