Rejected by the woman he desires, the wild Viscount Sheringham is determined to change his fortune. Unable to inherit until he marries, he impulsively vows to wed the next woman he sees. That woman turns out to be his lifelong friend, the charming and naive Hero Wantage, who has secretly loved him since childhood. For Hero, the proposal feels like a dream come true, offering an escape from a dreary future as a governess, even if it’s a marriage of convenience for Sherry. As they return to London, Hero immerses herself in the glamorous social scene, eager to make a name for herself. However, their marriage quickly devolves into a series of comedic misadventures as Hero navigates the unfamiliar world of high society. From chariot races to gambling tables, Sherry finds himself exasperated, trying to manage the fallout from Hero's well-meaning but chaotic attempts to fit in. As Sherry intervenes to prevent potential embarrassment, misunderstandings arise, friendships are strained, and emotions run high. Ultimately, both Hero and Sherry are surprised to discover that even a marriage of convenience can blossom into a genuine love affair under the right circumstances.
