The daughter of a Parisian banker is engaged to marry one of her father's colleagues. However, her father inadvertently discovers his soon-to-be son-in-law is in fact one of the men who have misappropriated his bank's funds. While confronting Baron de Beaufort, Mr. Racine is shot; his daughter refuses to believe that his death was a suicide. Traveling in disguise and helped by a fraud investigator, she tracks those among his colleagues who looted his bank. Her goal is to repay the depositors who lost money when his bank failed.

It was fun to notice that an actor who played a Nazi General in Pimpernel Smith plays a villain in this film. We get a feel for the experience of dining at the Ritz in Paris. There are comic elements and a romance.

I will next post upon Cafe Metropole, from 1937
