Output (English): The Earl and Countess of Rhyall Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr are facing financial troubles and are therefore forced to permit guided tours of their stately home. A suave, somewhat obnoxious American oil tycoon, Charles Delacro Robert Mitchum, barges into the lady of the manors private quarters, either deliberately or by mistake. He introduces himself, explaining the family name was originally Delacroix but his grandfather tired of Americans pronouncing the X in the name. Delacros attentions to the Countess turn her head. Rather than behave jealously, the Earl invites the American to come visit, taking their guest fishing as part of a bid to impress the importance of heritage on Delacro. Also visiting is an exgirlfriend of Lord Rhyalls, the American heiress Hattie Durant Jean Simmons. A love triangle or quadrangle soon develops. Determined to remain civilized at all times, the Earl pretends not to know that his wife has begun having an affair with Delacro at his London hotel, or that her new mink coat is a gift from her lover. He does suggest to Delacro, however, that he feels a compulsion to defend his wifes honor, and therefore challenges the American to a duel. They aim and fire once apiece inside the mansion, where the Earl is wounded in the arm while Delacro is unharmed. It is soon revealed that Sellers, the family butler who loaded the pistols, made sure both men were firing blanks while he, Sellers, an expert shot, wounded the Earl with a weapon of his own. As much as she would like to, Hilary cannot bring herself to leave her loving husband for the new man in her life. Delacro drives off, taking Hattie with him.
