This comedy-drama was character actor Alan Hale Sr.'s first attempt at directing. Señor Fernando, a wealthy Argentinean (Eric Mayne), sends his son, Pedro (Pierre Gendron), to New York City to handle some business matters. There, Pedro meets Kay Thorpe, a pretty stenographer (Shirley Mason), and they fall in love. At first Kay's parents disapprove of the match because Pedro claims to be nothing more than a poor clerk. When they discover he comes from wealth, however, they are more than happy to welcome him into the family. Pedro's father tests Kay's love by having his son arrested as a thief. Once again, Kay's parents voice their disapproval, but she remains loyal to her sweetheart. By proving her devotion to Pedro, Kay wins the approval of his family and they are married.
