Mae West owns a saloon in a dusty western town. She gets engaged to a cattle rustler, but he is murdered before they get married. She inherits his ranch, then gets millions when oil is found on the property. She falls in love with a British gentleman and follows him all the way to Buenos Aires. However, she first must become a "lady" and bribes a broke gambler from a rich family to marry her. They move back to Southampton where he is promptly murdered and her British lover awaits. The plot is contrived and Mae's vanity insufferable. Her brief scene in an opera is played straight, and the result is absurdity not comedy.
