British Army officer George Bryan Brummell (John Barrymore) decides to become a "beau" and lead a
reckless bachelor's life after he sees his sweetheart, Lady Margery (Mary Astor), forced to marry Lord
Alvanley (William Humphrey). He wins the friendship of the Prince of Wales, leaves his regiment, and
becomes one of Europe's taste-makers. His insolence and his indiscretions with the ladies of the court
make enemies, and he falls into disfavor. After escaping his creditors to France, he eventually dies there
in poverty, deserted by all but his servant, Mortimer (Alec B. Francis).
