George O'Brien leaves England to make his fortune. He leaves confident in the promises he and Madge Bellamy have made to each other, to be true until they can wed. O'Brien is running a bar down in Argentina, where they dance, and Alma Rubens asks him to love her, but he is rue. Hen he receives word from London that his uncle the Lord has died and left him a million pounds, so he writes to Miss Bellamy -- for the first time ever, apparently -- that they can be wed, and leaves for the old homeland. The trouble is that they dance in London just like they do in Argentina, and she has not been true.
The copy I looked at was in pretty poor shape, looking like it was drawn from an old VHS, but needs must when the Devil drives, and it was adequate to the viewing. The story isn't much, although clearly it was intended to be racy for 1925, a typical Fox programmer for the up-and-coming trio of young stars. Director Emmett J. Flynn offers his usual care, with some nice dancing sequences, but O'Brien looks rather silly in his mustache. Still, Miss Rubens is quite lovely, and all three give good performances.
