Summary
Basil Van Bibber, scion of a venerable lineage, finds his destiny intertwined with Nora Schultz, the industrious daughter of a butcher whose revolutionary sausage‑making contraption catapulted the Van Bibbers into affluence. In a calculated charade designed to appease their respective families, the pair feign affection, navigating a social tableau riddled with expectations and propriety. The ruse, however, unravels when Nora intervenes to shield Basil from a reckless‑driving accusation, thrusting them into a crucible of genuine emotion. Their fabricated courtship morphs into an authentic bond, exposing the fragile veneer of class pretenses and the earnest yearning beneath the performative veneer of early twentieth‑century propriety.
Synopsis
