In Paris, the Duke tells Francois that they must leave immediately as the police are after them. The Duke arrives in the United States and reads an article about the Peach Tree Inn and Gloria. The Duke arrives at the inn and Larry McKean introduces him to Michael Calhoun's party. The Duke walks over to Kitty Maguire and kisses her hand, which upsets Jimmie Calhoun. Kitty asks the Duke not to tell the truth about her lying about being Gloria and he takes advantage of the situation and continues to kiss her. The next morning, Kitty ties to get away and the Duke corners her in her dressing room and starts to sexually assault her. She manages to get away temporarily and Jimmie sees the Duke grabbing at her and he and the Duke get into a fight. Kitty runs away and takes a taxi to her apartment and the Duke and Francois chase after her followed by everyone else. Kitty runs into her apartment and the Duke barges in and locks the door behind him. He starts to sexually assault her again and Jimmie kicks down the door and he and the Duke get into another fight. A police officer runs into the apartment and tells Kitty and Jimmie that the Duke is wanted all over Europe for forgery and the Duke is arrested.
