On the eve of his departure from London, Archie finds himself entangled in a scandal providing him with a bride. To escape an unwanted suitor, Lady Rosalind Bailey accepts an offer to dance with Mr. Fernley. A waltz leads to scandal when they are discovered in a secluded room without an escort and are forced to marry.
