As described in a film magazine review, Madame Vervier, a sophisticated woman, sends her daughter Alix to live with Owen Bradley's parents in London.

After Owen's death, Alix learns of the reputation her mother has, and tries to keep Toppie, Owen's fiancée, from joining a convent. Toppie is told of the affair between Owen and Madame, but she still wants to go to a convent. Giles, a friend of Toppie, goes from London to Paris seeking Alix, the "little French girl."
