As described in a film magazine review,[1] Alicia, an adventuress, has occasion to befriend a Russian prince with whom she flees to France. They are happily living together when the Prince sees her with her young son and, knowing nothing of his existence, mistakes him for a youthful lover and quits her. He and several friends form a club known as the "Enemies of Women" and plan to have nothing more to do with them. However, circumstances finally reunite Alicia and the prince and they find happiness together.
