Die berühmte Frau

Gerald, the head of a vaudeville troupe, has made a famous revue star out of the little dancer Sonja Litowskaja. Wherever she performs, the audience cheers her. The old Duke of Olivarez, who has a sincere friendship with Gerald, immediately recognizes that he and Sonja have more in common than just professional cooperation. No doubt: Gerald is in love with the famous woman. When the troupe makes another guest appearance in Barcelona, the aristocratic gentleman advises Gerald to finally reveal himself to Sonja. The vaudeville director decides to follow his old friend's advice and confess his love to Sonja, but a stupid coincidence prevents him from doing so. On this very evening Sonja meets the passionate and seductive Alfredo de Cavalcante, who awakens in her all the feelings that had been hidden in her until then.
