Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Billie Dove stars as Marcia Kane, whose head is turned by the charming but sinister Grand Duke Sergei (Montague Love). Handsome and virtuous Wally McKenzie (Ben Lyon) is in love with Marcia, but how can he possibly compete with a "title"? Tricked into a marriage with the Grand Duke, Marcia soon finds that life with a nobleman is not all it's cracked up to be, especially since her husband is a cad and a bounder. Eventually, Wally comes to the rescue, cinching a happy ending for our muddle-headed heroine. Lavishly produced, The Tender Hour could have spent a little of its budget on a believable script.
