A diplomat falls for a London dancer but his best friend has other ideas

This musical drama features a shot of a Southern Railway express arriving into London Victoria hauled by a ‘Lord Nelson’ Class 4-6-0. The arrival scene on the platform uses a real Pullman train whilst a shot of the station frontage finishes this sequence. A tram also appears in one of the establishing shots of London.

As one scene closes another one opens to a shot of a passing London tram
