Antoinette, a wealthy young widow, runs into financial difficulties after investing in the stock markets and is forced to sell her villa and car. By chance she encounters William P. Harrison, the speculator responsible for her losses who is now the owner of her house. After she helps fix his car, he offers her a bet. If she can work as his chauffeur for three months without any problems, he will restore her lost fortune to her.
