In a snowbound Paris City hall, Manly debates attending Judge Thompson’s annual dinner with Julia. The event aims to meet local elites, including Horace and Wil lis Graham, whose fortune from washing machine patents looms large. Manly hopes such introductions may aid his future career.

Patricia Graham lingers near him at every turn, while Julia steers the deception, and a party planned to reveal the supposed marriage tests loyalties and nerves amid Christmas decor and social nerves. Meanwhile a historical digressive piece recounts early American secret orders and party splits, tracing Know Nothings and factional rivalries through to the 1840s, with explanations of the Hunkers and Barnburners and the Locofocos.
