Mrs and Mrs Spragg are hoping to forge an entree into society and arrange a suitably ambitious match for their only daughter. We follow the career of the selfish, spoiled Undine Spragg, recently arrived in New York and determined to conquer high society. Her principal assets are her striking beauty, her tenacity and her father's money.
