根据英国名作家约翰高尔斯华绥最著名的长篇巨著《福尔赛世家》改编，以豪华的制作品质和闪亮的星光呈现维多利亚时代的一段爱情故事。剧情描述世家子埃罗尔．弗林打破保守的家族惯例，娶了并非门当户对的钢琴老师格里尔．加森为妻。加森进门后，跟沃尔特．皮金的女儿珍妮特．利成为好友，利要求加森帮忙说服家族成员，让她可以嫁给看似为人漫不经心的建筑师罗伯特．扬，不料扬接触了加森之后，竟然喜欢上她，不再想娶利。此时弗林正好又聘请扬为他盖一幢新居，更造成加森与扬的密切接触机会。最后因为一场“绿帽疑云"的误会，两对鸳鸯各散东西。由于篇幅所限，导演坎普顿． 班尼特仿佛只能浮光掠影地交代丰富的情节，刻划主角的心理略嫌不够细腻，但演员普遍表现出色。

The Office of Scientific Investigations tracks down the source of increased magnetism and radioactivity in Los Angeles, and discovers that a man-made isotope is consuming available energy from nearby mass every few hours, doubling its size in the process. Although microscopic, it will soon become big enough to destroy Earth; and how to stop it is yet to be determined. The film's Deltatron special effects footage is taken from the 1934 German sci-fi film GOLD.
