In the French Style plot
"Anywhere but Paris, she would have caused a SCANDAL!"
Christina James is a liberal American girl who lives in Paris. She comes into contact with Guy, who tells her that he is a student at the university, where he is studying engineering. But when he schedules an appointment at a cheap hotel, he has to confess that he is actually only 16 years old. Christina breaks up with him and has a series of brief and unsatisfactory affairs with various men until she meets Walter Beddoes, a journalist with an unstoppable appetite for alcohol. Despite the fact that his job requires him to travel abroad a lot, Christina is very much in love with Walter. Therefore, her father tries to persuade Christina to return to the United States, but she refuses.
