Kay Bentley (Joan Crawford), a bored socialite seeks a more fulfilling life and goes on a Greek holiday. While on vacation, Kay falls for Terry O'Neill (Brian Aherne), an archaeologist who challenges Kay's beliefs, yet, also falls for her enough to follow her home. He feels awkward in Kay's flighty, social circles, yet they become engaged to marry. As Kay and Terry continue to quarrel over their differing lifestyles. Kay and Terry reach a compromise and do marry in the end.
