Synopsis by Hal Erickson
British stage luminary Ben Webster plays the lead in Gay Lord Quex. Based on a play by Arthur Wing Pinero, the film finds Lord Quex on the verge of matrimony. Unfortunately, a woman from his past threatens to disrupt his future. Lord Quex arranges for his nemesis to be compromised by a cardboard lover. But things don't quite work out as planned, and what started as a light comedy threatens to veer into heavy drama.
