About this release
Max, ufficiale di Marina, conosce Virginia che sta per sposare il suo amico Charles, rispettabile diplomatico. I due s'innamorano, ma Max è senza soldi. Per procurarseli escogita un piano machiavellico: dopo aver seminato indizi su una sua presunta simpatia per la Russia sovietica, scompare nella speranza di essere accusato di tradimento per poter poi sporgere querele e ottenere congrui risarcimenti.
