Advised to sow his royal oats before his arranged marriage to a princess he barely knows, Archduke Paul (Novarro) needs a decoy if he's to continue seeing Countess Zarika (Rosalind Russell), whose family the emperor hates. Engaging ballerina Lisl Gluck (Laye) to act as a front, Paul agrees to produce her boyfriend's ballet in exchange for her loyal service. Moving into his villa, Lisl carries out her part of the bargain, while Paul soon discovers that his phony romance may not be as phony as he thinks. (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment)
