The sin in question is a marriage of convenience, not one for love.

Since [[UnrequitedLove Sylvia’s always had a big crush on him]] and seeing that marrying him would improve her financial situation, she accepts.

The terms of their agreement are as follows: it will only last a year, Sylvia can travel to Paris and any other exotic places and use his money however she likes, she must avoid blemishing Stanton’s reputation with amorous affairs, and most importantly for Sylvia, it’s a marriage in name only. Stanton’s friend, certified cad Reggie Durant (Rathbone), also finds himself in Paris during Sylvia’s stay and tries to romance her—almost succeeding-until she decides to go back to NYC and settle some loose ends with Stanton.
