Returning from a year up the Amazon studying snakes, the rich but unsophisticated Charles Pike meets con artist Jean Harrington on a ship. They fall in love, but a misunderstanding causes them to split on bad terms. To get back at him, Jean disguises herself as an English lady, and comes back to tease and torment him.

    The interaction between Stanwyck and Fonda makes the film enjoyable. Sturges uses cuts to steam whistles and racing trains to great effect.
