Phyllis Ayrton, the well-bred daughter of an epigram-loving father, is attached to Mr. Holland, a clever young man, until his unorthodox religious views become a scandal in society. Torn between her heart and her respectable world, Phyllis watches friends and hostesses scheme to reunite or separate them, in a comedy of manners full of witty dialogue.
