Au manoir de Totleigh, les paris sur le nom du futur époux de Lady Alice Mashmorton vont bon train au sein du personnel de maison. Le jeune domestique Albert, au courant de certains secrets, souhaite miser sur un outsider au nom inconnu, un américain qu’Alice aurait rencontré lors d’un séjour à la montagne. Au cours d’un voyage à Londres pour le retrouver, Alice rencontre Jerry Halliday, célèbre vedette de Broadway en tournée dans la capitale qui tombe aussitôt amoureux de la jeune femme. Mais sa réputation de bourreau des cœurs qu’entretient son agent s’avère plutôt encombrante lorsqu’il s’agit de prouver ses sentiments sincères et profonds.

C’est le début d’une série de chassés-croisés et de quiproquos...
