Synopsis by Hal Erickson

Making a rare foray outside his native Scandinavia, director Gustav Molander headed to England to film Parisiennes, the British version of his 1928 Swedish film Parisiskor. Miles Mander stars as Armand de Marny, a playwright who must inaugurate a new love affair every time he begins work on a play. His latest amour is actress Nita Duval (Margita Manstad), the star of his newest production. But the affair comes to an abrupt end when the play's producer replaces Nita with another actress. Marrying Dr. Monnier (Louis Lerch) on the rebound, Nita can't get over Armand, and before long the couple has rekindled their romance. When Armand is accidentally shot while visiting Nita, her cousin Jeanne (Ruth Weyher) takes the blame so as not to bring disgrace upon Monnier. The matter is solved when Monnier divorces Nita to marry his true love, Jeanne, leaving Nita free for the convalescent Armand.
