Robert Grimshaw, watchful as a seal, with a dachshund in the crook of his arm, seems to know everything about the London society he moves in and to manage the affairs of his friends. His careful arrangements for the woman he loves and those around her begin to unravel, and he finds that knowing everything is not the same as acting.
