Plot

Kay Denham is engaged to Berk Sutter, but wishes to take a vacation in Europe without him, prior to the wedding. He is dubious, but reluctantly agrees. She quickly finds that in Paris, as a woman traveling alone, she is approached by men with designs on her. Eventually, she meets Gene Anders, who claims to only want to protect her from other men and to want a “platonic” friendship. However, his friend George Potter knows that Gene is married, and decides to protect her from him. The trio engage in a variety of Winter sports in Switzerland, as well as having multiple arguments and accusations of betrayal. Eventually, Kay learns the truth about Gene, discards Berk, and falls in love with George.
