Spoiled heiress Ellen "Ellie" Andrews has eloped with pilot and fortune-hunter "King" Westley against the wishes of her extremely wealthy father, Alexander, who wants to have the marriage annulled as he is aware that Westley is only really interested in her money. Jumping ship in Florida, she runs away, boarding a bus to New York City, to reunite with her new spouse, when she meets fellow bus passenger Peter Warne, a freshly out-of-work newspaper reporter. Soon Warne recognizes her and gives her a choice: If she will give him an exclusive on her story, he will help her reunite with Westley. If not, he will tell her father where she is. Ellie agrees to the first choice. As they go through several adventures together, Ellie loses her initial disdain for him and begins to fall in love. When they have to hitchhike, Peter fails to draw attention until Ellie displays a shapely leg to Danker, the next driver. When they stop en route, Danker tries to steal their luggage; but Peter seizes his car. Nearing the end of their journey, Ellie confesses her love to Peter. When the owners of the motel in which they are staying notice that Peter's car is gone, they expel Ellie. Believing Peter has deserted her, Ellie telephones her father, who agrees to let her marry Westley. Meanwhile, Peter has obtained money from his editor to marry Ellie, but misses her on the road. Although Ellie has no desire to be with Westley, she believes Peter has betrayed her for the reward money, and agrees to have a second, formal wedding to Westley. On her wedding day, she finally reveals the whole story. When Peter comes to Ellie's home, Mr. Andrews offers him the reward money, but Peter insists on being paid only his expenses: a paltry $39.60. When Ellie's father presses him for an explanation of his odd behavior, Peter admits he loves Ellie, and storms out. Westley arrives for his wedding via Kellett K-3 Autogyro NC12691; but at the wedding ceremony, Mr. Andrews reveals Peter's refusal of the reward money to Ellie, sends her to Peter, and pays Westley off.

Bien qu'ils s'aiment beaucoup, Iris March et son amour d'enfance, Napier Harpenden, font face à la désapprobation du père de Napier, Sir Maurice, qui considère la relativement pauvre Iris et son frère alcoolique Gerald comme un obstacle à l'avenir politique de son fils. Napier suggère qu'ils attendent qu'il s'établisse dans le service diplomatique britannique en Inde pour se marier, et Iris accepte à contrecœur. Après quatre ans d'attente, cependant, Iris cède à la pression de Gerald et accepte la demande en mariage de Boy Fenwick, un riche ami de son frère qui l'aime depuis longtemps. Lorsque Napier apprend les fiançailles d'Iris, il quitte l'Inde pour assister à son mariage en Angleterre. Juste avant la cérémonie, une femme étrange tend à Iris une note pliée, qu'Iris empoche sans la lire. Puis, le premier soir de sa lune de miel française, Iris se souvient de la note et commence à la lire devant Boy. Troublée par la note, Iris essaie de la jeter, mais Boy insiste pour la lire lui-même. Quand Iris demande gentiment si la note, qui affirme que, sous un faux nom, Boy a commis et purgé une peine de prison pour un crime odieux, est vraie, Boy répond par l'affirmative. Bien qu'Iris accepte courageusement la confession, Boy a honte et saute par la fenêtre de l'hôtel. Masters, et Hilary, un ami de la famille, apprennent le secret de Boy, mais comme Iris refuse de révéler la raison du suicide de Boy à qui que ce soit d'autre, elle est soupçonnée à la fois de l'avoir poussé par la fenêtre et d'avoir causé sa mort par son comportement. Malgré leur amour pour elle, même Napier et Gerald, qui adoraient Boy, soupçonnent Iris de trahison et lui tournent le dos. Ainsi condamnée par sa famille et ses amis, Iris s'installe en France et s'affirme comme la veuve la plus célèbre d'Europe. Cinq ans plus tard, Hilary informe Iris que Gerald est gravement malade et vit dans la misère et elle retourne immédiatement en Angleterre pour le voir. Après avoir vu Napier et entendu parler de ses fiançailles avec la respectable Venice, Iris se rend chez son frère. Toujours en colère contre sa sœur, Gerald, tuberculeux et ivre, refuse de la voir, et craignant qu'il ne meure sans lui pardonner, Iris accepte de laisser Hilary lui dire la vérité sur Boy. Gerald meurt sans connaître le secret mais pardonne à sa sœur. Bien que soulagée par le pardon de Gerald, Iris retourne en France et tombe dans un état fébrile. Lorsqu'il apprend la maladie d'Iris, Napier, maintenant marié, qui vient de se distinguer comme leader parlementaire, se précipite pour être avec elle. Quand Venice voit Iris et Napier ensemble, elle comprend la profondeur de leur amour mais, à cause du passé inexpliqué d'Iris, elle craint pour son mari. Incapable de garder le secret de Boy plus longtemps, Hilary dit enfin la vérité à Napier et Venice, et Venisc accepte généreusement le divorce. Portée par l'idée que Napier lui a pardonné sans connaître le secret de Boy, Iris récupère et se prépare à affronter Sir Maurice. Bien que Sir Maurice renonce à sa condamnation d'Iris lorsque Napier lui parle enfin de Boy, Iris n'arrive pas à mener à accepter ce divorce et se suicide avec sa voiture.
