Contrary to the wishes of her father, who wants her to marry a young man whom she has never seen, Mary Santley comes to New York in search of film fame. At the urging of a publicity man, she goes into a New York hospital, carrying only a pocketbook full of French money, and pretends to have lost her memory. Several "Frenchmen" from central casting appear and threaten to murder her because she is a Russian traitor. John Worthington, the Louisville lad she was to have married, arrives on the scene and proceeds to duel with the phony Frenchmen. New York reporters get the story, resulting in good publicity for the film company. John Worthington, having earned Mary's love, discloses to her that he is the very man she was to have wed.
