Scoundrel Charles Boyer seduces school teacher Olivia de Havilland to gain American citizenship. He lives in a cheap motel in Mexico with his real girlfriend Paulette Goddard, also an expert at seducing wealthy men. Their plan to ditch their spouses once across the border falls apart when Boyer comes to respect, and eventually love, his wife. A last minute car accident almost ends it, though, in this romantic soap opera.
