El reino de Marshovia está asfixiado por las deudas. La única solución sería que una viuda millonaria destinara su fortuna a sacar al estado de una situación tan apurada. Con tal propósito, el rey le pide a un conde que vaya a verla y la corteje.
Tres historias de amor tienen lugar simultáneamente en tres ciudades: Nueva York, París y Roma. Un escritor neoyorquino (Liam Neeson), que acaba de separarse de su esposa y se encuentra en París, mantiene una relación más bien problemática con su amante (Olivia Wilde). Una madre neoyorquina (Mila Kunis) niega tajantemente ser la responsable de un accidente que casi le cuesta la vida a su hijo. El padre del niño (James Franco) intenta que culpen a su mujer de negligencia para conseguir la custodia. En Roma, un empresario estadounidense (Adrien Brody), se enamora hasta tal punto de una gitana (Moran Atias) que participa en la liberación de la hija de su amante, a la que ha secuestrado un mafioso.
The film begins with a knuckle-head playboy (Preston Foster) working on a road crew dressed in a tux in order to win a bet. Apparently, this guy will take on any bet or act on a whim. This becomes very apparent when he disrupts a food giveaway hosted by the mayor's daughter and as a result of this, he announces he's running for mayor--though he seems very much apolitical and has no interest in the job. Later, when he once again meets up with the mayor's daughter (Joan Fontaine) they supposedly fall in love--although there seemed to be little chemistry between them and it made very little sense for Fontaine to suddenly love a guy she so quickly hated at the beginning of the film. Plus, she really had plenty of reason to dislike the guy.

“A marvelously clear picture taken from the top of the elevator of the Eiffel Tower during going up and coming down of the car. This wonderful tower is 1,000 feet in height, and the picture produces a most sensational effect. As the camera leaves the ground and rises to the top of the tower, the enormous white city opens out to the view of the astonished spectator. Arriving at the top of the tower, a bird's eye view of the Exposition looking toward the Trocadero, and also toward the Palace of Electricity, is made, and the camera begins its descent. The entire trip is shown on a 200-foot film. 30.00. We furnish the ascent in 125 foot film.” (Edison film catalog)
