England 1862 – Lucien St. Ives, Viscount Manchester, believes that no lady would want him, a ‘freak of nature’. So periodically he arranges assignations with ‘clean’ whores. An impoverished Lady Christabelle Jacobs arrives unexpectedly, at his estate, to beg Lucien for the return of a family heirloom lost by her father in a card game and Lucien mistakes her for an expected prostitute.
