Through a series of letters, the two become close and Tony invites his "future wife" to visit. When the beautiful, young Amy arrives at Tony's Napa, California ranch she falls for the wrong man thinking that Joe is the wealthy Tony. When Tony tries to win her over in broken English, she is at first furious and then charmed. But Tony breaks his legs while showing off to impress Amy, and -- left alone to care for a cripple -- she reluctantly succumbs to Joe's charms and becomes pregnant. Although Tony discovers that he has been cuckolded and that Joe has run off, his anger turns to genuine love and he offers to take Amy back unconditionally for the sake of the child and his own true feelings for Amy.

Gargan steals the show!!
22 Aug 2009
For me Laughton falls a bit short, his Italian accent pretty labored. And he just doesn't capture the Italian ebullience. But still, he's always interesting. Lombarde gets to grit her teeth and agonize. She's fine, but I'd prefer her in something meatier, or funnier. But Gargan here is the truest character....the one willing to alter his previous character. I had seen him in mostly small roles. So to find him so full of fire in a major role was a total surprise.
For a more interesting pairing of Laughton & Lombard see "White Woman." A very hard hitting version of middle aged guy and young gal.
