Penelope Wilhern, born to wealthy socialites, is afflicted by the Wilhern spell that can only
be broken when she finds love. Hidden away in her family's estate, the lonely girl meets a
string of suitors in her parent's futile attempt to break the curse. Each eligible bachelor is

hires Max to pose as a prospective suitor to get the shot. The handsome down-on-his luck
gambler finds he falling for Penelope, but not wanting to disappoint her or to expose his
surreptitious ways, he decides to disappear. Fed up by his latest betrayal and determined to
