The movie follows the storyline of an unhappily married woman, Irene Vail (Jean Arthur), who falls in love with a charming and dashing French headwaiter, Paul Dumond (Charles Boyer). The two are brought together when Irene's abusive, millionaire husband, Bruce Vail (Colin Clive), threatens to kill her.

In an attempt to escape her husband, Irene decides to spend a night on the town with Paul. However, their plans are interrupted when Bruce shows up at the restaurant where they are dining. In a desperate bid to get Irene away from him, Paul stages a fake shipwreck and convinces Irene to flee with him to New York on a steamer. Meanwhile, Bruce hires a detective to track Irene down and bring her back to him.

The romantic chemistry between Irene and Paul is electric, as they fall deeply in love during their voyage. But the perfect romance is soon threatened when Irene realizes that she cannot escape her past.
