Synopsis by Hal Erickson
American film star Adolphe Menjou crossed the Atlantic to England to appear in Blame the Woman. Menjou and Claude Allister play a pair of sharpsters who prey upon eligible wealthy ladies. Priding himself on his ability to charm any woman out of her hard-earned diamonds, Menjou is himself victimized by Benita Hume, who finagles him into participating in a jewel heist. The sadder-but-wiser Menjou ends up in the slammer. Adolphe Menjou and Benita Hume would later reteam in the delightful pseudo-Lubitsch romantic comedy Worst Woman in Paris?
