A young American from the Midwest, abroad for the first time, moves into the Grand Continental Hotel Magnifique in Rome and is dazzled by the elegant people who take him up, among them Lady Mount Rhyswicke. Music on the Pincio, glamour and good fellowship soon carry a price he never expected, and the question of who his own people are becomes painfully real.
