The high-born yet penniless Lizzie Winwood is to marry the Earl of Rule - for the "convenience" of the Earl's vast wealth. Yet Miss Winwood's affections lie elsewhere. Her rebellious young sister, the engaging and scapegrace Horatia, however, is more than willing to take her place as Countess of Rule. But a place in high society has its dangers as well as its rewards, and Horatia soon finds herself in more trouble than she had counted on.
