Isabel Bradley est éprise de Larry Darrell. Son oncle, le raide, riche et cynique Elliott Templeton, désapprouve vivement cette inclination : il juge le jeune homme idéaliste et par conséquent immature. En vérité, la Première Guerre mondiale a bouleversé Larry et profondément remis en cause ce qui fait le sens commun des valeurs de son riche entourage. Exaspérant davantage encore Templeton en refusant la place que lui offre le banquier Maturin, Larry décide, avant d'épouser Isabel, de s'exiler provisoirement à Paris. Il espère que ce voyage et cet éloignement lui permettront de mieux se connaître lui-même. Isabel l'y rejoint mais s'affole soudain quand, lui demandant de l'épouser, Larry lui demande simultanément d'accepter de partager sa pauvreté...
