Coleman stutters, "I'm really all right; it's just my speech," and Greer Garson falls in love. From there on M.G.M. takes the most improbable of plots and turns out a reasonably interesting production. Coleman is at his best in weird plots and Garson is better cast than she has been at times in the past.

British Army major Coleman, who has lost his memory, escapes from an insane asylum in the confusion of armistice celebrations. Greer Garson helps him evade the authorities, and they eventually marry, settling down to a peaceful, idyllic English country existence. At Liverpool on business, Coleman is struck by a car, regains his memory, forgets his wife, and returns to resume his life as the squire of Random Hall. Reviving the family fortunes, he gains the title of "Industrial Prince of England." Meanwhile his wife traces him, becomes his private secretary. Coleman marries her again, this time for business reasons. Finally he remembers his past and falls in love with his wife a second time.

Susan Peters does a masterful job of making herself sweetly obnoxious as she chases Coleman. Her girlish lisp is aggravating, but don't let it spoil the picture for you. There are a number of scenes near the end in which the element of suspense is so capably, delicately handled that they more than compensate for an occasional bad scene.
