At the death of her once close Italian uncle Gianni, Lilly Kerner is in line to inherit a substantial sum. While her whole family is in Venice with her to settle the estate, she meets Conte Francesco di Selari, the charming aristocratic hotel owner who was Gianni's best friend. They soon fall in love, but she refuses a proposal because he's already engaged to employee Giovanna. Francesco also tells her that Gianni had an illegal child. Actually, uncle Gianne left his palazzo jointly to Lilly and Francesco.
