Countess Vera von Conti checks into Monte Carlo. She's down to her last 10,000 francs and has fled from her husband-to-be, Prince Otto von Seibenehim. At a casino, Count Rudolph Falliere is taken by Countess Vera's beauty and persuades her into letting him stroke her hair for good luck. Because of this, Vera assumes Rudolph is a hairdresser and hires him. Rudolph in love with Vera calls her every night and sings to her. Vera also in love with Rudolph must fire him to marry the Duke -for financial reasons. One night at the opera, Vera notices Rudolph in the VIP box. She realizes he has lied to her about his social status, but, perhaps they may marry... (official distributor synopsis)

It’s a nice old straightforward bit of nothing, and yet everything. Classic Lubitsch mannerism with all the trimmings. MacDonald is like porcelain and the classic "I am someone else" situations are played to the max. Look to Monsieur Beaucaire for an explanation.
