He is a widower who has spent time with lady friends, and his eye is on an American actress, Elsie Marina. When Elsie receives an invitation to a private party at the Carpathian Embassy, she understands the implications and wants a formal getting-to-know-each-other period before dinner. However, she gets caught up in the diplomatic and geopolitical issues surrounding the Carpathian monarchy, including the Queen Dowager and the 16-year-old King Nicholas VIII, who wants free elections in Carpathia.
