Wealthy businessman Richard Gaylord, Sr. Is tired of paying off ladies from the many escapades of his irresponsible playboy son Richard Gaylord, Jr. (Richard Dix). He decides to send his son to the Basque region of France where he believes the local women wouldn't touch a stranger outside their culture. Local nobility Yvonne Hurja (Frances Howard) is desperate to avoid the attention of Don Julio, Captain of the guard (William Powell). Julio quickly sees outsider Richard Jr. As a romantic rival.

This is the earliest William Powell film that I've seen. It's fun to see him do some silent film acting. His voice is arguably his greatest asset and he has no access to it here. I would have liked more of him, but he's not the lead. Nothing against Richard Dix. This is pretty good.
