Synopsis

Austrian cabaret dancer Riza Rigi (Corinne Griffith) is not above a bit of petty thievery once in a while, and she steals to attract the attention of Nicholas Cathy (Ian Keith), a young lawyer she is in love with, who unsuccessfully defends her in court and she is, alas, sent to jail. But she also stole his heart, and he is waiting for her when she is released from jail.
