 In this gossamer-light romance, a wealthy American woman meets a charming Parisian headwaiter and they fall in love. However, the woman s estranged husband blackmails her into returning to America with him. The headwaiter follows her trail to New York, where, after months of searching, he finds her again and they reaffirm their love. They board a ship headed back to France, but her insanely jealous husband compels the captain to steer the ship into dangerous waters, where it will almost certainly collide with icebergs and be destroyed.
