Plot
As described in a film magazine,[3] Martin Wesley (Powell) marries the young French woman Fauvette (Ferguson), but she is out of place in the cold New England setting he provides her. After he begins to suspect her due to the distrust of his puritan relatives, they separate. Fauvette becomes a famous author, but her generosity exceeds her income. She is in difficulties with a money lender when Martin returns to woo her again. They find their love revived in the more genial atmosphere of New York City.
