Socialite Alla Nazimova floats from one party, and boyfriend, to another in her wealthy circle. She meets dashing Rudolph Valentino and they fall in love. Their impending happiness is blocked when his father convinces her not to marry so as not to smear the family name. Heartbroken, she returns to her former life, where eventually she runs into Valentino again. The ending is not happy. Convincing early adaptation of the Dumas classic, if somewhat overly melodramatic in the style of the day.
