Millionaire John Hunter Yates (Frank Morgan) tries to recapture his youth by abandoning his business and going to Europe. His wife Elinor (Doris Lloyd) refuses to go with him. Yates meets a young actress, Blossom Bailey (Elissa Landi), and takes her with him. In Paris, Blossom falls for musician Zukowski (Joseph Schildkraut) and they fall in love. Yates tires of the bohemian life, and returns to America with Blossom and Zukowski. At Blossom's urging, he finances Zukowski's musical career, and he becomes famous. Elinor tries to win her husband back, even as Yates becomes certain Blossom and Zukowski are betraying him. Yates discovers Blossom has been true to him, and returns to his wife—allowing Blossom to marry.
