The story centers on the title character (played by Walter Huston), a wealthy automobile manufacturer whose wife (Ruth Chatterton) desperately craves an aristocratic lifestyle in Europe. Dodsworth indulges her fancies to a degree, but their clashing desires--compounded by her affair with a European baron and his affection for a sympathetic widow (Mary Astor)--create further tension and mutual rancor.
