Wealthy, beautiful, spoiled heroine has been living an enchanted life as the granddaughter of a Romanian Count, a war hero who immigrated to England after WWII and made a fortune as a financial wizard. Until hero, an investigative reporter with a personal grudge against the Count, infiltrates heroine’s life under a false identity, and digs up enough dirt to expose him in the press as a Bernie Madoff type conman. Heroine, who had fallen in lust with the hero under his assumed identity and had even adopted a stray dog with him, is crushed by the double whammy of having been used and dumped, as well as her entire life crumbling around her ears. Valiantly, she rallies, putting everything they have up for sale to satisfy creditors and making plans to turn their home into a boarding house.
