Plot
[edit]As described in a film magazine review,[3] Madame Vervier, a sophisticated woman, sends her daughter Alix to live with Owen Bradley's parents in London. Madame is ashamed of the life she has led in Paris. Owen is in the midst of a flirtation with her despite his family's feelings and his having a fiancée. After Owen's death, Alix learns of the reputation her mother has, and tries to keep Toppie, Owen's fiancée, from joining a convent. Toppie is told of the affair between Owen and Madame, but she still wants to go to a convent. Giles, a friend of Toppie, goes from London to Paris seeking Alix, the "little French girl."
