Overview

He lied, cheated, and killed all in the name of love.

Cecily Harrington, struggling along on a small allowance, wins a fortune in a lottery. She decides to travel rather than marrying her fiance Nigel Lawrence. A stranger, Manuel Cortez, comes to rent her flat and she falls in love with him, and they are married.

The question is will she be able to repent in leisure her decision to marry in haste.
