The notorious Mrs. Erlynne, known for romantic scandals, returns to England and visits Lord Windermere to confide that she is the mother of his wife, Lady Windermere. As Mrs. Erlynne continues to get closer to Lord Windermere, Lady Windermere begins to think the worst. Directed by three-time Academy Award nominee Ernst Lubitch, this silent film portrays one woman's attempt to be introduced into society and the skewering of upper class hypocrisy that comes with it.
