Monty Woolley is a reclusive painter called back to England to be knighted. When his valet dies, he assumes his identity, apparently for no other reason than to disappear completely from the public. He also meets and marries his valet's intended bride. They lead a quiet life until he starts painting again and his paintings end up in the hand's of an art dealer. His true identity is revealed in a long court trial for the finale, in which his moles come under intense scrutiny. It's entertaining enough I suppose, but completely without substance.
