Larry (Fairbanks) is a big success on the stock market where he meets Vi (Bebe Daniels) a friend of one of his employees Jimmy (Jack Mulhall) at a party. Vi bets Jimmy she can get Larry's attention before she sets sail to England in the morning. She manages it and also sets him up. Larry is so stung by her laughter he joins the ocean liner...
On the boat (which includes a musical number by Bing Crosby - his first appearance on film) the relationship between Larry and Vi goes back and forth, as do his fortunes on the stock market. By the time he arrives in (foggy of course) old England he is broke (thanks to the stock market crash) but how is he doing for love?
The film doesn't have a great deal of plot but is energetic and fun. I've always thought a romantic film works better if there is humour as it makes it much more realistic. The real stars of the film are the sets though. The film is a masterpiece of Art Deco.
