It was adapted by writer Henry William Hanemann from Clara Beranger's 1927 movie The Little Adventuress,[1] which in turn was a rewrite from the 1921 British play The Dover Road by A. A.

Plot

Leonard and Anne drive along the lovers' road to Dover, intending to embark for Calais and go to Paris. The car breaks down and Saunders takes them to a nearby hotel, which turns out to be a residence with servants, owned by a Mr. Latimer. They are told they cannot leave for seven days so that they can see if a marriage between them will work. The next day, Anne begins to notice things about Leonard that she ignored before. Another couple in the house are about to leave after seven days—Leonard's wife Eustasia and her lover Nicholas.
